Streamers versed in Pathfinder echoed the same sentiment.
The issue seems to be different: porting PnP rulesets is bound to fail. The format of a PnP game session is too far from a computer session.
Too many fundamentally differences.
In PnP, players are attached to their character, one death and it is over. Changes the approach to fights. Cant work the same with computers that mean to have unlimited lifes. You cant get the feeling of your character's life hanging to a dice roll.
Dice rolls are not even the same. In PnP, dice rolls are personal, the dice roller fail or succeed at them, impression of being cursed or blessed etc
Does not work with computer generated randomization which is external to a player. It does not belong to the player.
Etc
Players must know the rules in PnP in order to get the most of them. In PF, you can ignore the rules, just do stuff, repeat until it works etc
PF the computer product is a product meant for streamers. It is not meant for gamers, it is not meant for players who want a personal experience.
A PnP game is usually involving and engaging.
