"Nothing ever happens"? Uhm... what about the stuff that do happens between Editions?

Does Paizo have other investment streams besides the revenue stream? Because I believe that Paizo, even if its big, is indie.

Starfinder would be my favourite ttprg, even though I have currently no group :(

I would even say this is intentional. In Shadowrun, you are not the hero. You are some poor bastard trying to make a bit of cash without getting shot in the head by your Johnson once the job is done. Of course you are very rarely involved in the big changes in the world.

I think that paizo is dwarfed about 10x by D&D but in turn dwarfs the next biggest ttrpg publisher also by a factor of 10. Idk if they are really indie or not, I'm not in charge of drawing lines.

I'd say the biggest difference between indie and non-indie is how corporate they are. I.e. - do the actual game designers and artists own and run the company, or is it run by suits and shareholders?

In that sense Paizo is still 1000% indie. Run by nerds with no corporate shareholders to answer to.
