End of an era at GGG; Tencent is calling the shots and gameplay is now secondary to $
Maybe point 4 is wanted ... or even owned by ... ah well.

Unfortunately for me, I happened to be in the poe1/2 discord voice chat when the vid dropped. I gotta tell you, I've never felt so ashamed & had so much second hand embarrassment as I did listening to complaints as I did that day. It was like watching children cry because they could only have their cookie at 11 instead of at 10.
Love poe1, love poe2 (regardless if it's there yet) but GGG as a company & specifically Johnathan, ChrisW & Mark as a trio are exactly what a studio needs. People lose perception so fast it's not funny. 45 days ago, these 3 were the unsung heroes of the world, revolutionizing gaming & community engagement. Today, they fell short of perfection (which they mostly have been for the last decade, just look at their release schedule) and now they're suddenly these movie villains. Reddit's even asking for Johnathans resignation. These guys & this studio did something I've never seen any company, much less a relatively small game studio which could use the revenue a lot more than many other AAA companies: They made skins transferrable between games because it was logical to do it for their players. These guys own up to everything they do wrong and even then they mess up - which, btw, they do 100x less than 99% gaming studios, similar to Fromsoftware. If that doesn't tell you where these guys heads are at, idk what will. This whole ordeal made it look like there's some conspiracy or evil intentions and the online world eats it up and makes a huge unwarranted drama out of it. In the next 30 days we'll have 0.2 & in 50 days we'll have 3.26. The world won't end & I guarantee you the same people crying to the skies today they're refunding and their world is over will not only survive but will also go 180 and shower praise in 30 and 50 days. |

I'm just waiting for the Real Money Auction house and the Pay To Win EXP boosts you can buy with real money. oh and Shark Cards. While leaving the game as it is and full of bugs.
Game has been out for 3 months now, and we have ZERO prommiced content that was supposed to be in 100% by 6 months. Dernière édition par KingDaMuncha#6025, le 31 janv. 2025 à 07:12:13

" They literally did. They doubled their studio size since announcing PoE 2. Please don't just say things...that's what the OP did. They also literally told us they have been hiring even more since just before the EA and during the EA. Starting anew....with PoE 2 Dernière édition par cowmoo275#3095, le 31 janv. 2025 à 07:21:43

" I mean.....it makes sense when you look at all the faulty and straight up incorrect information in posts like these. I still can't get past how awful the first 2 points of the OP are: longer campaign = more money, and longevity = irrelevant. There is zero critical thinking and understanding going on here.

GGG Only care about maintaining "The Vision" to the detriment of their players.

This is false information and not even feedback.
You're just completely wrong on everything. If you don't like PoE consider quitting the game. |

" Such a useless comment. I bet you don't even know what "the vision" even is. Here's a hint: it doesn't even exist. The vision is just something the community "made up" after hearing CW describe his ideal game, 10+ years ago. Newsflash, the entire development of PoE 1, and even the CURRENT iteration of PoE 2 has many aspects that are directly in conflict with CW's supposed "vision" for an ideal game. Additionally, CW hasn't spoken about PoE 1 or PoE 2 in YEARS. Like....at all. Nor is he in charge of creating the game. So "the vision" is completely irrelevant.
