End of an era at GGG; Tencent is calling the shots and gameplay is now secondary to $
" Jokes on you, haven't even done that! I have a forum account, and I have a game account. I do my absolute best to not EVER post on forums with the same account that I actually make purchases with. But that's entirely irrelevant. Love how you use that to try and refute everything I have to say. Since I was in High School, I learned to use a separate email address for all things "online forum-y" or social media-y. PoE is no different Basically your entire response says.....nothing. You confirm that you lied about PoE 1, by providing the ACTUAL quote (only took 3 pages). You literally AGREED with my correction about longevity, while trying to frame it as a disagreement? And then your best defense was "Every word true". All wrapped up in an NDA package. I have no interest in calling out your credentials further. You don't need to prove them to me, just as I don't need to prove my "private account" to you. But YOU based your entire OP on the predicate that you served 2 years at EA and "others would be surprised" at how its run. And then proceeded to mis-characterize most of the business aspects of PoE 1, PoE 2, and seasonal games in general. You are right though, free bumps. But people on these forums are not as dumb as you think they are. Nor is GGG. If you are truly a 41-year programmer with a storied career at AAA companies, I am SURE there are others on here with comparable careers. If they stop by and see this post on the front page, most likely they will come in and tear it apart too. Oh and btw I did not call you out as breaking any rules, and ofc you have freedom of speech. But so do I. Your right to "say anything" doesn't preclude my right to call you out on the bs. That other guy I was responding to just said something truly crazy when talking about public forums. Unconditional acceptance....lol Starting anew....with PoE 2 Dernière édition par cowmoo275#3095, le 30 janv. 2025 13:09:01

None of it was a lie. All was true and thought out and if you want to continue shilling for POE2 please feel free to continually bump this thread. I dont believe GGG for one second when they say "we will get back to making a POE1 league 6 months from now." That is the problem with credibility. Its so easy to shatter.
Please feel free to continue to bump my thread calling me names and so on. Enjoy, I am done replying to you. |

Tencent Paragraph: lie
Title: lie Longevity is irrelevant: lie Killing PoE 1 / game is no longer f2p: lie Everything other than revenue doesn't matter: lie Again, all things tencent: lies, as pointed out by other users here Lost you as a customer: also likely a lie These aren't just "mistakes", as you said you put thought into them and STILL wrote them....making them lies. Your credibility was shot the moment I read the title, and the post merely confirmed it. And yet you have the nerve to call out GGG, and other posters, on their credibility? Lol man. And again....all this is exacerbated by the fact that you had the nerve to bring your credentials into this. If its that important to your post that others know your professional background, your post better have some real substance. It doesn't. "Fixing bots is easy": oh....okay. Tell that to pretty much every single game currently in existence. A seasoned programmer would know that fighting modern botting is like trying to kill a hydra with a toothpick. You try to hide your lack of substance with credentials and purchase comparisons. Classic tactic. Starting anew....with PoE 2 Dernière édition par cowmoo275#3095, le 30 janv. 2025 14:09:27

" I'll explain this again: A lot of us who post here had public profiles for MANY years if not 10+ and recently due to the account stuff a large majority of (regular posters) and players in general made their profiles private for security. People such as myself and many more had public profiles until that point so that we could validate some of our feedback and honestly avoid posts like this and the time that is wasted for example explaining it. Drop this please. <3 And before someone calls me a white knight: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3703227/page/36 This post should clarify i am not GGG's white knight right now.

" base on the fact theyre not releasing a poe1 league and havent for many cycles as a company who makes almost all their money in the first 2 weeks of releasing a poe1 league? oh no, ok, its about abandoning their tried and tested long running revenue stream in poe1 that was growing every year to make poe2 that has a longer campaign with more thought out gameplay, thats why theyre prioritising revenue over gameplay. because longer campaign means p2w because stash tabs that people buy to store all the stuff they find in endgame. yeah i see, so you stop them getting to endgame as fast and then those stashtabs you fill with maps and splinters in endgame, yeah im with you. totally. because chris always said if we can get a player to endgame then we have them as a long term player, so you stop them from getting to endgame with a longer campaign and because p2w its big init, with the tabs  theyre playing 5D chess fam. thats why they bought control in 2018, to wait 7 years to repeat the thing ggg did themselves in 2017. I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

If Tencent made the decision or GGG in both cases i can udnerstand the decision. I never player POE 1 past lv 20 and that only once. Im absolutely not emotionally involved here.
The decision to focus on a very successful Early Access Launch of Path of Exile 2 is probably made with money in mind. That is totally fine. POE has an interesting approach to get money through microtransactions. Especially Player retention. The point is most stuff in POE is very fair. The prices are actually really high. I dont like the price of some stuff. But its not necessary to buy it often, you only buy it once. In other games like Black Desert who have a way more aggressive approach to monetization. You buy Inventory slots/weight for every single character. And outfits are bound to a specific class. POE Monetization is one of fairest for live service games atm. That are fairly new. I do understand that people are annoyed by tem focusing on POE 2 instead of POE1, but look objectively at it and its a logical decision. |
