I feel you are probably correct that if WOTC were to publish adventure paths/modules to play with the 5E core books, they could potentially continue to do so forever. As a new player, this sounds GREAT to me! HAHAHAHHAA!Churn out high quality adventure paths/modules at a reasonable rate, so we can keep up with purchases. Then continue to do further printings of the core rulebooks, while fixing typos/errata updates, etc as they go along. Not knowing the "business side", my guess is that WOTC printed a set number of copies for each of the core rulebooks (as opposed to printing as many as they can sell within a given time frame). Once that set number have all been sold, do an update with the typo/errata updates, and print another pre-determined amount of the three core books. Continue to keep players interested and playing with the adventures, and you have a potential endless game. If sales are dipping, drop an occasional splat book (still not 100% sure what that term means to be honest), MM, etc to coincide with the latest printing of the three core books. I am sure all of this sounds a LOT easier in theory (and I honestly have no idea of what I am talking about), but I am guessing that Paizo aren't working on PF2E. They just keep on keepin' on. Having said that, as a new player, I was at a tossup between PF and D&D 5E. I went with 5E for the fact that PF simply has WAY too many rulebooks to deal with. As a n00b, I was turned off on the idea of trying to buy a bunch of books all at once, and then working to try to learn/absorb everything written in them. I have seen that having too many rulebooks is referred to as "bloat" and I have also read that WOTC are saying they plan to avoid bloat with 5E. Put those things together, and I ran with D&D. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
