Given the state of 3rd party d20 stuff, they will be lucky to still be in business in 2 years.  Seriously, just how many adventure mostly d20 companies are there around these days? Basically just one, Goodman Games.  Look at Kenzer - they publish a successful magazine, but their own adventures (officially licensed no less) apparently don't sell squat.Look at Necromancer - without a big company to help them publisher, they were going to throw in the towel. Even with White Wolf's backing, a lot of their recent products only sold a couple 1000 copies (if that).Paizo has gone from publishing a magazine that probably sold what, 30,000-40,000 copies each, to adventures that will sell 1-2k.  This is also going to negative impact their other side businesses (like their D&D gouging business), because they no longer have free advertising, nor will they be associated with Dragon/Dungeon/D&D any longer, which has a lot of branding value.Paizo's only real chance of survival is if they built up their brand name strong enough. But even then, I doubt their future is very bright.</blockquote>
