I think the era of 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons had it right. (not talking about the rules).

[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6925350, member: 37579"] They had 15 people on the D&D team. But that included marketing and brand people. A lot of managers and such. They weren't all working on the books. Paizo is willing to accept making far, far, far less money each year than WotC. They're not owned by another company that expects profits to increase each year. After all, they're newly released books are selling well below WotC's numbers. [I]Horror Adventures[/I] is currently [COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]#28,995 on Amazon while [I]Curse of the Crimson Throne[/I] is [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]#29,723 compared to [I]Storm King's Thunder[/I]'s [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]#578 and [I]Curse of Strahd[/I]'s [/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=#333333]#4,020. Paizo's sales compared to WotC's is incredibly small. The best selling Paizo product is selling fewer copies than the worst selling 5e D&D product. [/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=#333333]Other than the fact they use the same rule set, it's almost apples and oranges. The businesses are so completely different.[/COLOR][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
