Which may or may not actually be true (and probably will be true at launch), but even if it is is a minor inconvenience to 3pp at worst. How minor will depend on how much they actually change, but it is on a range from "trivial" to "a bit of a PITA, but not a real barrier".To make it a real barrier, they would need to go far beyond even the extensive small changes shown in the playtest packets so far. They would have to make it not just a new edition but a new edition family, and even a pretense of compatibility would have been long since left behind. And even then that would not stop everyone.I am particularly puzzled by the comment that it would affect Paizo. They've produce what, one 5e product ever?TLDR: Whether or not there is any truth to this, they have explained it poorly and the sky is not falling.</blockquote>
