Players playing 3.5e are not average players. They've invested a lot of time into the game already. They should care what the company does, especially considering what they did after 3.5 that they should remember.

You probably will care who makes the system soon though because Hasbro is going to require subscriptions for everything. It's going to sucks. You can always pirate the PDFs, but just play a better system. D&D 5e is so janky and you have to remember so many exceptions. Pathfinder 2e just works how you'd expect.

I see, I missed that tidbit of the conversation. My bad.

I don't see myself caring if Hasbro tries to require a "subscription". Like I said, none of the gaming I've done with DND has been through any legitimate channels they offer, I've got the PHB and DM guide on my phone and all the games I've played are either homebrew or stolen PDFs that work exactly the same way a "subscription" would.

I have been interested in checking out Pathfinder, but honestly don't care enough to push my friend group towards it. If anyone approaches me with a PF game I'll join, but not going out of my way to find one.
