[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 7981955, member: 27996"] I don't think anyone at Pazio was so much as [I]dreaming[/I] of even getting close to 5e. But I do think that it is reasonable to assume they were hoping to reverse the steady decline that PF1 was having by revitalizing their fanbase with an exiting new edition. Pulling PF1 groups back into the fold who had left for 5e or other games. And giving them a healthy bump for an overall different sales trajectory. Given the data that we have; I think that it is a reasonable educated guess to say that PF2 probably failed to do that. What that will mean for Pazio and PF2's ultimate future 3-5 years from now? Who Knows. I'll totally buy this. I just think that due to the 5e juggernaut effect - that newbies have a harder time hearing about non-D&D/d20 games than they would have in say the 90's when non-D&D based RPG's had a bit more presence.
