Paizo co-founder and CEO Lisa Stevens has officially retired from the game industry, ending a 35-year career in the game industry. Stevens announced her officially retirement yesterday after a two year transition period where she gradually stepped away from the day-to-day operations of the Pathfinder and Starfinder publisher. " After 35 years of making some of the most amazing games and getting to work with the most amazing people, it is time for me to step away and move on to the next chapter in my life," Stevens wrote in her retirement letter. Stevens noted that she was diagnosed with a debilitating but non-life threatening disease that made it more difficult to do her job back in January 2020. The subsequent pandemic coupled with her diagnosis allowed her to step back from the day-to-day operation of the company to the point that she felt comfortable with retirement.
