Not familiar with Pathfinder 2E. Is it still modeled after DnD 3.x?

games end up being tailored around micro transactions.
One of the things that is tailored would likely be that the game is locked down to prevent modding. While this may not be as much of a concern for multiplayer games (unless the game allows private servers and such), it is more of a concern for singleplayer.
Paying money for a game item that is single-use? That's a pass for me.
If you only have to do it once (or a few times) and can use it repeatedly ad infinitum, you can be just about as discerning as you want.
It’s also a lot more forgiving from a texture perspective.
This is also why I see milk and eggs being easier to develop. Non-animal dairy actually already exists (see: Perfect Day Foods), though I've only seen it in a few products.
Regardless, we really shouldn't be preventing progress for the sake of protecting jobs. Especially when the status quo is so wantonly destructive. And even as this would replace some jobs, it would create new ones.
All that said, I'm very skeptical of this tech.
In short: PC gaming allows the fans to fix potentially good games, or make masterpieces even better!
Yes, mods are one of the big reasons I prefer PC over console. A game with a rich mod community allows you to customize your game experience.
A game with good bones can become something that is played long-term.
I never actually played 4E. My friends ran a brief campaign and said it was no good, so I never got a chance to try it.
Still I'd take a look at Pathfinder given what they did with 3E.
