[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 7637771, member: 6775031"] Not that there's any way for us to know for certain, but I would wager that a PF2 that was just an updated PF1 would sell a [I]lot[/I] more than the PF2 that they ended up with. I mean, it's not like those players originally went to PF1 because they were sick of 3.5 or anything; they went to PF1 because they liked 3.5, but PF1 was better. Ergo, that audience would happily switch to a better version of the same thing. If PF2 only targets the people who bailed on PF1, then that's a much harder audience to capture, because there were lots of different reasons for them to quit. For every GM who gave up on PF1 because of NPC complexity, there's a player who gave up on PF1 because of PC complexity, and two more who gave up on it because of balance issues. There is no possible product that will bring all of those players back, but there [I]is[/I] a possible product that would get their existing audience to buy more books. [/QUOTE]
