BartyDeCanter Paizo has a well established business and licensing agreement with Roll20 that actually generates revenue, and their Demiplane product functionally competes with AoN. That business relationship is made less valuable through the AoN partnership, so even without speculating about potential loans or investments it makes sense on some level to end that arrangement.

The worrying thing -- and the thing that no one seems to have dared to broach, even in the 800 different threads discussing this on Reddit -- is that this is a significant factor when looking to sell. There are, obviously, other reasons for wanting to get their house in order, but a big one would be to either seek a significant outside investor, or to sell the whole company outright, which could have deep and possibly horrendous impacts on the future of the system.

Just another reason to get all of your rules in paper or PDF, so your table is resistant to potential paradigm shifts at the publisher.
