[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 9193687, member: 8461"] This is true, but strictly speaking (if I'm understanding [USER=7042141]@AvtrSpirit[/USER] correctly), this is still more restrictive than what came before. It's just only a restriction for someone who wants to use PF2 Remastered content created by a third-party under Pathfinder Infinite in an ORC Licensed (i.e. non-Infinite) product. Which might not sound like a big deal, but it's still less than what was allowed before: [LIST] [*]Prior to now, if you made a product for Pathfinder Infinite or Starfinder Infinite, you had to use the OGL if you used any rules content that was Open Game Content (I suppose you wouldn't have if you wrote a pure text treatise on, say, the religious practices of the goddess Desna). That included new rules that you derived from existing OGC, i.e. new feats, spells, etc. That content could then be used by other publishers in non-Infinite products. [*]According to Paizo, this is not the case for PF2 Remastered material that you use in a Pathfinder Infinite product. Such material isn't designated as ORC Licensed material (i.e. the ORC version of OGC), and so can't be used by a third-party publisher in their own ORC Licensed product. [*]So whereas before Pathfinder Infinite and Starfinder Infinite products that made use of PF1, PF2 original, and Starfinder were contributing to the overall OGL ecosystem, including for non-Infinite publishers, PF2 Remastered material published under the Infinite agreement will not contribute to the ORC License ecosystem of third-party publishers. [/LIST] And really, that [i]is[/i] a shame, as it does indeed take a step back from the open culture that Paizo helped to propagate for so long. [/QUOTE]
