[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6963552, member: 37579"] It also has subscribers and monthly deadlines. Content had to be out each month, even if it needed an extra couple days or there wasn't anything great pitched that period. [I]Dragon [/I]also couldn't revise itself based on feedback, offering corrections and errata in the main document, or tweak content based on playtesting.

Plus Paizo staff reports from the distributor they shared with WotC. The first time Pathfinder tied with D&D it was for the for July-September of 2010. Essentials wasn't really announced until the middle of that period (GenCon 2010), so it's unfair to blame that for the "chilling effect".
