They went woke before D&D, they went woke stronger than D&D, and they're already struggling with the bloat of systems they created for 1st edition in order to extend the lifetime of the game without going to a new edition, only to end up going to a new edition anyways, which has shed off some of the people who enjoyed pathfinder.

I think there's going to be a lot of decentralization and balkanization of RPGs. I think anything that is big currently will shrink in size of people playing it, and I don't think anything will really get big again as different niche groups find their own rpgs to get behind.  But that's just a prediction, I'm willing to accept that I could be wrong.

The issue is finding the one you like that your group will also play.  That's a very short list.
