It's truly disheartening to see a company let their product deteriorate so rapidly and abandon their customers after making grand promises.

Rapid Product Decline

For a product to decline significantly in just three months suggests several possibilities:

Poor quality control and lack of ongoing development

Insufficient resources allocated to maintain the product

Deliberate neglect after initial sales goals were met

Deceptive Marketing Practices

The elaborate marketing campaign you mentioned, with stage presentations and moderators, indicates a significant investment in creating hype. This stark contrast between the marketing and the actual product support raises serious ethical concerns.

Customer Abandonment

Leaving customers stranded after taking their money is not only unethical but can also lead to:

Damage to the company's reputation

Potential legal consequences

Loss of customer trust in the industry as a whole

Possible Explanations

While there's no excuse for such behavior, some factors that might lead to this situation include:

Financial difficulties forcing the company to cut corners

Mismanagement or internal conflicts

A "cash grab" mentality with no intention of long-term support

Consumer Protection

Customers affected by such practices should:

Document all interactions with the company

Seek refunds or compensation if possible


This type of corporate behavior is indeed shameful and represents a significant breach of trust between a company and its customers.

It underscores the importance of thorough research before making purchases, especially for new or hyped products.

PoE2 is made to be a game with seasons, i.e., with cycles, like PoE1. To understand if a playerbase is growing or shrinking you need to compare data from the same relative moments on different cycles. Usually the peak.

As the first league is still to come, it is just too early to make this kind of analysis.

OK miste Copium overdrive.

We will compare 570000 to whatever is going to happen in two weeks when and if they release the next mediocre ''content update''

Path of exile with its seasonal content was already tired and outdated 5-7 years ago.
That is why it never got big. It stayed mid and niche game.

Stop trying to gaslight and simp.

In 10 days we will see how bad things are.

Dont need to be mean. I just said an obvious fact. I didn't even expressed my opinion about the subject.

And about being "already tired and outdated', most games-as-service, including the new ones, use some kind of season system in their strategy. So, for sure, it is not an outdated strategy.

It's a very generic text written by AI. I'd consider it spam.

Being niche is what made it so good. I hope poe2 never goes truly mainstream. Wide appeal will ruin it.

Edit: it also makes sense that people, who are so used to content slop that modern mainstream games are, would use AI to generate more slop.

this is simply wrong because the game was getting more popular with every league update

poe 1 could be a massively successful game if they went all in on it instead of trying to maintain two mediocre games at once

AI slop ragebait.
