It’s not the same thing.let’s take an example from comic books. John Byrne was working for DC in the mid 00s and launching new series with high sales for issue 1s but rumors were alway the series was being cancelled by issue 12 so the series would yank out and be cancelled around issue 18 anyway while other series that had lower sales first issue order continued, eclipsing Byrne’s titles. People stopped buying, because they thought the series were cancelled, Byrne’s new books because why support it when it was already cancelled even if it had good word of mouth? Why continue to buy 4e products when 1. They were cancelling books left and right and 2. Shifting to a more edition neutral format? New edition on the horizon signals. Sales always tank when a new edition looms. Pathfinder is the game that can and is quality product with the right focus, WOTC used their adventure focus after all as part of their game plan for 5e and seems to be playing catch up with some aspects of PF2 design like ancestries and lineages. Paizo knows what they are doing for sure but don’t overestimate the “Pathfinder takes top spot from D&D” when it was months when D&D had no products and D&D was STILL number 2 on the list with no new products. That 5e succeeded on a 3 releases a month schedule is all the more insane when you think about it.</blockquote>
