[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 5270032, member: 221"] Paizo is still a relatively new player, it is true. They have had their game out for 1 year. Of course they don't have a huge media franchise yet. But that doesn't really mean anything concerning their success, their future, nor how many books they are selling. Dungeons and Dragons did not start out with a huge media franchise and the full power of Hasbro behind it. It started out as a small game, spread by word of mouth. Warhammer didn't release video games their first year either. Nor did WoD. Nor did they begin their games with a full court press of comics, novels and the like. Those things came later. Companies tend to start out small, and generally focused on a few core products. As these products gain support then they expand. Paizo is growing with Pathfinder. There does not seem any doubt about that. Where they end up is anyone's guess. But to dismiss them because they don't yet have a video game released for their product is rather naive. And, in case you missed it, the Novels are being released as we speak. ;) [/QUOTE]
