[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7563850, member: 4348"] I'm not a huge Pathfinder fan. I've played it and can reasonably comment on it, but I was more into 4e and 5e I suppose. I think Paizo may be cutting it's own foot off to try to win a foot race. They may have great sales (many times the core rules sell very well) of the core rulebook and whatever bestiary they have, but after that it's anyone's guess. From the little I've heard here and elsewhere it sounds as if the Playtest went over VERY BADLY. 5e's playtest was hands and feet better than what the PF2e Playtest seems to have done from a marketing perspective. In that I expect that PF2e will move rulebooks, but I think it's going to lose them players in the long run. I think there will be many who stick with PF1e, but even then, with PF2e being supported and PF1e moved away from except publishing the books, they are going to lose a great deal of Pathfinder gamers that would have stuck around if they had supported PF1e more. What that means for their future...I do not know. Maybe they'll start converting APs to 5e. C&C (Trolllords) now are making adventures for 5e...perhaps Paizo will follow suite if their PF2e doesn't work out in the long run...or maybe they'll revert back to supporting PF1e (though I can't see that as really being all that viable. I imagine they went to PF2e for a reason...and that reason probably has to do with being able to see a decline in PF1e revenues in the future if they continued down that path continuously). [/QUOTE]
