Samus Aran:
As an aside, too, it's good that Onyx killed your interest in Chronicles of Darkness. They're a terrible company who do some extremely shady things, and word really needs to get around about how they mistreat their freelancers, artists, even game devs. The fewer people supporting them, the better!
I admit considerable curiosity at this claim, though not a great deal of surprise...
Regarding new editions in general, this is how games stay alive. Evolve or die, it's the truth of games and species alike. Had D&D never progressed from 1st Ed, they'd have died a long time ago. New editions change games, that's true, and indeed the point. Does it break them? That depends on the developers and the perspectives of the consumers. Very subjective.
Regarding Pathfinder 2E in particular, well, I don't like Pathfinder much as it stands. I feel it has too much bloat, and there's a reason why people nicknamed it Mathfinder. And sure, lots of players like that. I admit I really like the setting. The mechanics? Not so much. If it moves to a form more similar to D&D 5E (which is, coincidentally, the only edition of D&D that I find particularly playable), then I don't, personally, see that as a bad thing. Some people will, though. That's true for a new edition of anything - there are people who like the change and people who don't.
