Paizo is a profit oriented company and thus, if a product doesn't sell they won't create more of that type.
Do we have any "sales numbers" or anything similar for PF1e? I have heard the Tian Xia Adventure Path didn't sell very well and that is the reason why they didn't expand Tian Xia that much. Do you guys know of similar decisions, or what sold really well (except for Kingmaker and Curse of the Crimson Throne updated edition)?
I would hate to buy, read and love a product, just to find out that the Paizo crew has moved on and doesn't support the product with new material anymore.
No, Paizo does not release financial information to the public.
Tian Xia is still included in the Lost Omens World Guide
(see discussion here)
They aren't going to create new material for PF1, but it's certainly part of the world of PF2
I mean, there are lots of reasons a book might sell well/poorly and "people [don't] like the genre/setting/power level/etc." might be only one of those reasons. It's up to Paizo to figure out stuff like "there isn't much appetite for mythic" and even so it's a question of whether it's the specific mechanical implementation or something else entirely.
But if they released this stuff you can be sure that people are going to interpret it with axes to grind that aren't "sell more books", but if for nothing more than to head off lots of threads about "how Paizo's sales numbers confirm my personal biases" they have really no reason to release this stuff publicly.
Thanks for the replies!
I hope they will release more compiled APs for 2e.
Shattered Star and Curse of the Crimson Throne would be awesome.
