[QUOTE="Imban, post: 4114510, member: 29206"] All who look upon this press release should sympathize, however briefly, with Erik Mona, forced by the delays and absence of communication regarding the GSL into a dilemma where Paizo had to either cease producing books for months on end, leaving their publishing division haemorrhaging money due to being payrolled but unable to produce anything saleable, or make a dunderheaded decision like this, leaving him in the position of countless other fantasy heartbreaker authors crying "Look, look! My game is different from Dungeons & Dragons in ways that no one will notice, and this makes it better!" to the heavens and hearing no reply save for the howling wind of people rushing past them to the one dungeon fantasy game people actually play. For a few months, at least. Then he'll be sent to the poor house anyway as Paizo terminates its entire publishing division due to violently haemorrhaging money on this tomfoolery. Or what helium3 said. I just had to say it in the most overblown way possible. Essentially, I looked over the Pathfinder RPG rules, shrugged - I mean, okay, they're a nice house rule document, but I don't particularly care that much - and felt bad for the situation Paizo found itself in, stuck in a situation where what it can produce for the next year or so is really questionable due to the version change and their habit of producing long Adventure Paths.
