[QUOTE="Velderan, post: 9196665, member: 7038056"] That's incredibly comfortable to say for someone who has no stake in the outcome. WotC backed down from revoking the OGL, but there's absolutely nothing that says Cynthia Williams eventual replacement might not come in with less concern about the PR and want it gone. Every book Paizo releases is just deepening their dependency on it, so what happens if WotC decided to challenge the issue in court? The sooner Paizo cuts ties and gets things under a license that isn't a potential future problem, the safer their business model is. Why not just make a 3e? None of us know how many books Paizo is selling, but them deciding to do Starfinder 2e with PF2e's mechanics is a pretty good indicator the system is selling well enough that they see a long future with it. I'm going to trust the folks with a lot more info than us are making decisions based on that information. 🤷‍♂️ I'd guess that given the amount of renaming they did, the ability names were probably deemed safe to use by their lawyers.
