But now there are PF1 players, PF2 players and 5e players all in the same space. That makes it hard not just for WotC and Paizo but everyone who supports the 3 systems.

I'm pretty confident PF2 will put an end to Paizo as a game developer. They'll survive as a publisher of AP's but I'd bet in 5 years they'll just make adventures for whatever edition of D&D is current then.
I agree totally.

PF2 isn't an update to the D20 SRD, so if people are going to change systems why wouldn't they switch to D&D5 which has a much bigger audience?
