I don't think it's fair to blame Devir for the current state of their game lines, specially now.
Due to some internal issues I don't really understand, Devir Brasil had little control over what they could release for a few years. It all changed last year, when company control returned to the team that really cares about RPG. They released their first RPG in a long time, A Bandeira do Elefante e da Arara, and they also announced Pathfinder last year. It's getting released this year, even. That's a very small delay window.
I understand completely how people could be worried and reticent about having Pathfinder 2nd Edition arrive at Brazil through Devir. But I know they are passionate about their work, I know they are very good at distribution and I know they are trying their hard to get things back on track.
If it were up to me, I'd give them a chance, specially because if they don't get another chance, Starfinder is getting delayed.
Sorry, man, but they had their chance. It has been at least three years that I am hearing that they'll release this pathfinder book or that pathfinder book. Changeling the Lost got delayed a lot, many nWoD books weren't released. You say that the team that cares about RPGs returned, but that is not really correct, since their founder passed away recently. This new RPG they released could be a political maneuver, since it is quite educational and they have government contracts.
Most important, is that they promise a lot, but never fulfill. Ask anyone who was expecting nWoD books. Although I must give it to you, their distribution network is quite good... For boardgames and comics.
