I disagree with this in part. DnDB and Fantasy Grounds have proven that there is a high demand for pre-entered content. So much so that it shocked the developers to a certain extent. The Master Tier on DnDB is a whopping $454.15 but people are still buying it in droves and then paying a subscription on top of that.

The Paizo issue is significant though. It was the right decision at the time but the market has shifted. The Pathfinder community is split and decreased significantly in terms of market share. LWD simply could not move fast enough to keep up with 5e though and have missed that boat it would seem. Sadly. There's still significant money to be made there for a few years at least.

LWD can absolutely make money off the CM. But they need to remain flexible and fast. Two things which don't appear on their resume currently.
