The problem is PF2 isn't just a new edition of PF, learning the many lessons that should have been learned in the decade between, but essentially a new game. There are just too many new systems.

People went to PF1 because 3.5 was a great system and 4 was awful. So PF2 being a simple evolution of PF1 woul;d have transitioned the whole player base over without an issue. 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.
