"Clearly, the strategy is to cut off the trend toward increasingly powerful splinter groups mainly represented by Pathfinder and (gasp) the OSR."
OSR = Old-School Revival, the segment of the RPG community revitalizing the basic, advanced, and first-edition rulesets from the 70s under OSRIC, Labyrinth Lord, Swords and Wizardry, etc.
