[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7364934, member: 4348"] Actually, I'd say the wiser decision MIGHT be to wait until AFTER Paizo releases their PF2 if that is the goal. Let the customers temporarily jump ship. The goal is simply to bring them back in. If you release it prior to PF2e than many will still be interested in what PF2e is like and investigate. YOU MIGHT be able to pre-empt PF2e IF you release a book of heavy crunch AROUND THE SAME TIME, thus when given the choice of either/or...they choose the one they are already playing (5e's crunch). Otherwise, if you release afterwards, they have already been in your system previously, and then with your new book of crunch fall back to it in excitement. It's sort of like what World of Warcraft used to do with expansions. A new MMORPG would be coming out, they'd let it, but then they'd release the expansion and everyone who had jumped ship to investigate the New MMORPG came back to WoW because it was what they knew, they were excited about the expansion, and then once back into the game, stayed with WoW. That's actually a REALLY smart idea. With the 5e fanbase right now, I'd say Paizo might make MORE money doing that than anything else they might even consider. I'm all in with C&C, 5e and AD&D currently, with absolutely NO INTEREST in anything Pathfinder currently. IF they did that, though, they might even lure me i with interest with some of their material. Now that I think about it, why don't they do that? It would make a LOT of sense. There is no longer the GSL of 4e to prevent them, and 5e has it's own OGL that they could easily utilize to do this...there's no reason not to. I think they'd make a LOT of money by doing that.
