[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7590553, member: 37579"] No. I’m saying they should have done limited products to take advantage of D&D having it’s best year ever (for the third year in a row) to cheaply produce some high interest books to sustain the development of their new edition and grow the audience of their Adventure Paths and campaign setting. To actively try and sway D&D players to Pathfinder, or a least get them buying their AP volumes and campaign sourcebooks. After all, what’s their plan right now? Compete with D&D at its strongest and try to pull players away from the game when it’s becoming a cultural phenomena? C’mon. Paizo’s strategy was “a rising tide floats all boats”. Which is STILL dependant on D&D, as it’s relying on WotC to not only bring in more games, but bring in gamers amendable to Pathfinder. But said “rising tide” really hadn’t been the case for any games of late. The market is booming but other systems aren’t doing super well. John Wick went under and Evil Hat pretty much went on life support. [B][I]And[/I][/B] the massive new audience brought in by steaming is much more focused on story and less on combat, but heavy crunchy combat is the spine of the Pathfinder RPG. In two to five years, when a wave of 5e players tires of that system and itches for something new and different, they probably won’t choose Pathfinder. Right now, Paizo is the Golarion company. It’s their tent pole. It’s what makes them unique. AND a big campaign hardcover is the kind of product WotC seems uninterested in doing. They should have done a 5 update of their world. Updates select class options and monsters, while making their bi-monthly campaign setting products more system neutral to appeal equally to players of 5e, PF1, and PF2. Instead... they chose to compete against 5e AND their first edition. I mean... I love Paizo. They’re a great company full of great people. But I haven’t had a reason to support them in four years (and should have stopped supporting them earlier than that given how unhappy my last few purchases from them made me). I WANT to give them my money. And, previously, their attitude was always “if you make products people want, they will give you money for them”. But they’re really opposed to taking the money of the people calling out for 5e conversions. If Monte Cook can support Numenera and do 5e books... if Green Ronin can do Fantasy Age and do 5e books... why can’t the much larger company that is Paizo do the same? [/QUOTE]
