PoE 2 has lost over 80% of its players in 3 months.

What I will say is a regular post in for example a ‘what we are working on’ thread in poe2 announcements would be a huge deal for players, communication is key to customer satisfaction and at the moment I feel that that is lacking.

Now that Chris is officially gone, don't expect a lot. If all of insiders info was correct (and it seems it was) things are going very bad with POE2 development.

Chris Wilson, co-founder of Grinding Gear Games, has sold all his shares in the company and is no longer an owner, although he remains listed as a director. There are unconfirmed rumors that he hasn't been present in the office for some time.

Check out Talkative Tri's new video. Apparently, it was in the New Zealand public business registrar. I'm not totally buying it, until GGG says something. It could be that Chris Wilson is getting a new title, and will still be involved in some capacity.

Furthermore, we know that only a fraction of the player base uses Steam.

How do you "know" that? Where is any evidence or indication for that? And please stop talking in this highly manipulative "we" just to inflate your take. You're one person. With one opinion. As am I.

You used a lot of words to dismantle very legitimate criticism, but you ended up virtually saying nothing.

To claim that the Steam player base is only "a fraction" when we're talking about the biggest pc game distribution platform is a wild display of mental gymnastics.

Appears accurate, could be a misfiled document like happened a year ago, or as you say he could just be stepping back to a new role.
If he has left (as Bex did before) then it’s imo due to the horrible feedback directed directly at him for some of PoEs changes (such an AN mods, LoK, exalts/divine swap etc). As the document says 25 January 2025 I’d also blame the horrific PoE2 EA feedback as a lot of it imo has been far far from constructive and highly critical.
Genuinely sad news if true!

I agree with you. Negativity is never constructive, and we can all do better here. The frustrations are real, but they could have been channeled in better ways. Would we treat a friend that way?

steam does miss all console players and given that there are more people playing pc games without steam than there are people playing pc games with steam proves the point that poe stand alone client is the majority. why should the numbers differ for poe or poe2 only?

assuming the majority of all poe/poe2 players plays via steam does not make any sense. not at all.
