Pathfinder players are the Linux users of the TTRPG world. Open source, heavy parallels to closed-source, better content than closed source in many ways, will absolutely pretend any shortcomings don’t exist, and fans that insist “bro it’s finally ready, just make the switch, it’s super easy you’ll see.”
Then when you try to switch, it’s juuuuust different enough that you constantly have to consult the manual, but everything is named something different than the closed-source version so even the index isn’t super helpful at looking things up.
And if you ever stumble, the fans will pile on you with “bro RTFM” like it’s not forty three books long and counting.
On the opposite side of the coin, D&D is the Microsoft of the TTRPG world. The system peaked several versions ago, the maker keeps getting more and more invasive, and they keep trying to lock everything into their walled garden so switching means you need to totally scrap all of your content.
