[QUOTE="Haffrung, post: 7645142, member: 6776259"] The casual newbies and the nostalgia crowd probably don't want to learn a new game. But the 5e market is bigger than just those two groups. It includes people who play multiple RPGs and aren't afraid of new systems. The tabletop gaming boom - of which D&D is just a part - has shown that there's a significant population of gamers out there who are fine with learning new games. The boardgaming hobby would collapse without the 10-20 new games a year crowd. PF2 doesn't have to rival D&D to be a success. If it can keep 70 per cent of its existing fans, and spark the curiosity of 15 or 20 per cent of the groups playing 5E - gamers who have become disappointed by some of the warts of 5E or who like trying something new - that's enough to be a commercial success. I know three D&D groups among my acquaintances alone who have never played Pathfinder who are buying PF2. The D&D-like market is big enough for multiple commercially viable and professionally produced games. [/QUOTE]
