I don't know how much revenue the top 20 are generating, and I'm not going to go crawl through Kickstarters to try to figure it out, but I don't think Wizards is doing it for a little money. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />If I were doing it, I wouldn't want someone doing with 1.1 what Paizo did with 1.0/a. I wouldn't want it because everybody's got a boss, but also, it strikes me as a really bad outcome for the business. So this seems like the kind of thing I might do if I didn't want someone taking 1.1 and building a multi-million dollar business on it. As for someone doing a Paizo with 5e under 1.0/a, that seems like a risk. Might even be Paizo again! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  I don't think they can put that horse back in the shed, but maybe they think they can at least make it less likely that the next horse gets out.Note that I have no idea what anyone at Wizards or Hasbro actually thinks about this. Maybe none of the executives have a problem with Paizo or Pathfinder for reasons that aren't apparent to me, or maybe it's a minor annoyance in the grand scheme of things that I don't get to see from my seat on the sidelines. My "analysis" could be entirely ignorant.</blockquote>
