They are not just selling the same content. There is invention and new game design in their books that make them different than whatever the 3.5 equivalent may be. In some cases I don't think there is a 3.5 equivalent.Also note that Eric Mona has said that the core book sells more and more every year. (At about 5:32 in the video)[video=youtube;NvAuMKKyA5U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvAuMKKyA5U&list=UUaZ7ByBXPqZRg-Q-J-_0YEA&feature=player_detailpage#t=270[/video]In a recent Know Direction podcast about the future of the game ( I think, if you want I'll find it ) they stated that at year 5 they have about as many gamers in the public play Pathfinder Society than at the high point of the RPGA and it shows no sign of slowing down. I know around here that I'm going to have trouble getting enough GM's for tables RSN.Also I think Paizo knows that there is a large contingent that get the AP with no intention of really running them verbatim, but borrow and mod and enjoy reading the issues.But I do agree that at some point their customers will show them the way. Saturation and core book fatigue are probably inevitable. I know that I stave it off by cherry picking what I get from them. It's only a few core books at this point. They do have a knack for drawing me in, Mythic I'm looking at you.</blockquote>
