Paizo owes the CUP everything. They often say how PF2E’s success saved the company, but the tools created under CUP are what saved PF2E from failing amidst the pandemic. And in the future, no new ones can be created.
(end of quote. quoting doesn't work)
Both Paizo and the community have gained much from these tools and the policies that allowed them to exist. For example PF2e on Foundry is easily the best digital RPG experience in existence. And it cost Paizo (as far as I'm aware) nothing.
Walking these policies back is inexplicable to me. It made me look up the opposite of "future-proofing" and it seems that doesn't even exist.
So ... why? I've read speculations and none of them look good. Until today, I thought it was just a mistake. But now it's clear that wasn't the case.
