Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mustrum_Ridcully" data-source="post: 4125506" data-attributes="member: 710">I think some people are making assumptions that I would be more careful with.1) Paizo is the only one that have their marketing figures. They had an active magazine, and they have an active board. I suspect they even have more sources for information on their customers. Anyway, they have the figures. They are the best suited to make decisions on what to do. If they decide that going with 3.5/3.75/Pathfinder RPG the way they do it, I will assume that they know what they are doing. I will not assume that they are stupid and WotC is the only one in the business knowing what is right or wrong to do. 2) Paizo is not WotC. The size and the market they serve is considerably different. And that will not change much. What is required or will work for WotC might not be applicable to Paizo - and vice versa. 3) WotC wants to make money. And so does Paizo. Neither of them is in there just for the good of their heart. But behind both businesses, there are people dedicated to the hobby. Never believe anything else. And that means that if the designers of WotC or Paizo are asked by the faceless, in-only-for-the-money-making entities of their corporation, they will come up with their best for the game. And NOTHING less. Saying that what is done "only for the money" discounts this possiblity, and that is plain wrong and insulting. People must learn to differentiate between the faceless business identity of a corporation and the people that actually make it up. You can still not like what the people come up with, but that's not for their lack of trying or their will to do their best.</blockquote>
