[QUOTE="darjr, post: 7815488, member: 52905"] I don't like PF2. I'm interested in the play that campbell posted, but I don't intend to ever play or run it. I am trying to be objective. And I DO think that the amazon sales rank is a pretty good proxy. We've compared them to the ICV2 rankings and they roughly matched, though that wasn't very rigorous. Someone went and took a look at how many "subscribers" there were at Paizo's site, each user had a badge that said so. And those numbers, even if everyone of them bought the core via that subscription, were dwarfed by Amazon projected sales (yes a guess, but I think an OK one). Also the comparison to the PHB sorta works out because there are many other sources to the PHB as well as the paizo core. Though I agree that Paizo makes more money on their direct sales, especially with PDF, twice as much per hardback, my guess, and most of it per PDF. Oh and we have a comparison to PF1 sales via sales rank, at least for a couple years and right at the release of 5e and a little after. Amazon is really the only numbers we have for these two. At least in any steady supply. I must admit though, I wan't Paizo to succeed. I wan't there to be more than one largish RPG company in the market. More than two or three would be even better.
