Now that sounds like angling to repeat 4e marketing blunders.
Yes. So?
Playtest?Yeah, exactly. The playtest did not give the impression that the designers were on a journey of discovery with their fans..
Starfinder went well, right?put out a new third RPG to sit along PF and SF that they could focus publishing energy on (superheroes, maybe).

Superheroes, though? How would they work "...finder" into that? Crimefinders? Justicefinders Society?
Actually, I'd think (and I've never made a right prediction like this yet) that the thing to do, in the face of 5e's even-wilder-than-d20s-wild success, would be to happily go back to making APs and accessories for D&D.
PF subscribers could get versions with PF stats, perhaps?
After L5R? What did L5R do?
That's clearly the case with monsters.So, /only/ 3.x of all the D&D species, built PCs & NPCs/monsters on exactly the same rules by default. It was always an option in all the others, but the presentation of monsters/NPCs in completely different blocks is the norm for D&D, just one of the few ways that 4e was normative D&D.
I don't think Paizo are making their business decisions out of pride and resentment, and I'm surprised you would suggest they are.Which means they ought to have swallowed their pride and resentment (no matter how justified) and positioned once more their game as something existing D&D gamers should try.
