4e has seen a resurgence among a huge segment of the playerbase that is unsatisfied with 5e's shallowness.

Although I reckon the vast majority of those have never actually played 4e, and only like the romanticization/nostalgic idea of how 4e played. Happens all the time with the gaming community, both tabletop and videogames.

I'm surprised that hasn't lead instead to more people turning towards Pathfinder 2.

@caseyweederman @Aielman15
Keep in mind that a lot of people outside the hobby have never even heard of Pathfinder. Even knowing that there's such a thing as *editions* of D&D is unusual outside the hobby.

In that case... Dear everybody this reaches: Pathfinder 2 was designed to take the best of D&D 3.5 and the genuinely good parts of 4e. Also D&D has such a thing as *editions*.
