I noticed that the Starfinder 2e Player Core DLC is now available for 1 of my VTTs (Fantasy Grounds), for $65 in my Canadian currency ($50 USD). That's much better than the best $80 CDN price I can find in my country for the hardcover. Considering Paizo offers the PDF for free when buying DLC which I can use for IRL table play, that's much more in my comfort zone. At $65 I can see myself eventually purchasing the GM Guide and Bestiary, provided their pricing is the same or close to the Player Core.
That would make the whole set come under $200 CDN, which just seems more affordable and comfortable to purchase.
