A lot of Paizo's wind in the sails (sales?) comes from a group of people who disliked the changes 4e made, wished to sell/buy OGL material, or liked 3e but wanted another coat of varnish over the harsh areas in the rules. Paizo does not need to sell millions of copies to be a success. It doesn't even need to have D&D-level brand name recognition. All it needs to do is develop 3e in a direction WotC chose NOT to go in and keep the project Open so that big and small publishers can join in on it (as well as support Organized Play, if your into that). I'm with you here 100% I love SWSE, and thought it would be a good jumping off point for 4e. It would need A LOT of work to make it D&D-compatible (namely, fix the math-problems like Skill Focus:UtF vs. any Defense) but you could have done a great 4e using Saga's base system. Sadly, they didn't go that route (which now appears as a true 3e/4e hybrid game, and isn't really compatible with either) and opted for the changes they did.</blockquote>
