[QUOTE="JThursby, post: 8602324, member: 7025596"] I complained about the Roll20 content with a Paizo staffer once, and I learned something interesting: the Roll20 implementation was made by Roll20 themselves, and they wholly own it. Paizo can't actually alter or update anything on there. The funny part is that the PF2e community is fairly passionate and if Roll20 would let them work on the character sheet and whatnot for free some guys would probably do it. I'm still skeptical about Nexus as well. It hasn't yet done anything for me that the book releases, PDFs or Nethys already accomplishes. This is classic slippery slope rhetoric. Yesterday there was no paid content on Foundry, today there is some, tomorrow they will take away the free stuff, etc. There's no precedent of this extreme behavior from Paizo, or even a company like Wizards of the Coast. The only tabletop companies I can think of being this nakedly and self destructively greedy today are Games Workshop, with Andrews McMeel as a distant second. There's a reason the PF2e community settled on Foundry rather than, say, Fantasy Grounds. The Paizo clientele have developed an expectation of a high value return and not having services stand in the way of their hobby. Do you really expect that a company that rose to prominence via the Open Game License and maintains relevance via a liberal community use policy would just undo all of that in pursuit of a walled garden market?
