[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7590525, member: 37579"] They're also human, and humans do silly things.Thirteen years ago, WotC almost killed their business by taking away Dragon magazine. They barely recovered but a year later WotC hit them again by announcing 4e. Then WotC cut them out of the loop by not showing them the game they were working on, leaving the company floundering. Then Paizo turned the company around and became the biggest name in the industry. Only to be left in the dust when WotC brought D&D back. It's hard not to feel bitter when competition that wronged you repeatedly is busy lapping you. Last year, any Pathfinder 1 releases were doing to be DOA. Who's going to buy a new hardcover during the playtest? But they still had a bunch of staff on payroll. Enough to do four hardcovers a year. [I][B]What’s a sound business reason for them NOT to release cheap book of 5e monsters with art recycled from Bestiaries 2 through 6 farmed out to 5e freelancers? [/B][/I]It would have kept the staff they're already paying busy and would likely outsell any of their other books for that quarter. Or a campaign setting update, given that’s needed to reflect the changes of the last dozen APs. That’s a largely system agnostic product that could be paired with system specific accessories, like a Kobold Press did with it’s latest Midgard book. [/QUOTE]
