The amount of comments on Reddit, Facebook, and the official forums speaking out in defence of Paizo here is just saddening.
And the sheer tone-deafness from Paizo themselves is astonishing. Just going all through their comments saying "oh don't worry, there's nothing wrong, AoN will still work!" Even if you completely agree with Paizo that this isn't a problem, there's no issue, it's just so tone-deaf to totally brush aside everyone's concerns like that. Terrible PR move all around.
Zagorath Yeah, this is some incredibly poor PR, right down to the vague finger-pointing at the AoN folks for publishing the information. But it's also the kind of head-scratching, short-sighted decision people make when under a lot of pressure, so I understand why Paizo's doing this.
They're wrong, and they just burned a ton of good will for the sake of a few bucks in lawyers fees, but I get it. Actually actively defending the choice is a fun kind of bootlicking, though, and has my days of not taking the Pathfinder communities on those platforms seriously coming to a middle.
