Yes, I'm aware of the sale. They still have that infrastructure in place and it drives the business model. I'm happy for you that you don't find the ads annoying. Everyone's mileage likely varies in that regard.

Is this the reason that the Adventure Paths for PF2 aren't updated as regularly? Don't they sell enough?

Yes, D&D is a bigger brand. They therefore have an army of developers to support a single game. An army that's many times larger (perhaps an order of magnitude greater) than the small team we have spread across three game systems. The APs haven't been updated as quickly simply because we have limited resources, and big books like the GMG are more important to our users (collectively) than an AP. That's just simple prioritization based on common sense. As Spock once said, "Logic clearly dictates the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few". If you gave me just HALF the resources that those guys have, I believe we could accomplish a heck of a lot more than they have.

So is your goal to just crap on HLO here? If so, please take it somewhere else. If you wish to have a constructive conversation, then I'm open to doing that.
