GGG is open about what actually happened, they don't want to lie to you and what you do is cry your fucking eyes out in a tantrum worth a 7 year old who didn't get a candy.


I Loled.

'Dont want to lie to you' =/= havent been lying to you for years about multiple major decisions.


i lOlED.

what are you even talking about, what the fuck


Do we need to literally quote the devs saying that Poe1 and Poe2 are the same game? Do we need quotes of them saying Poe2 will not affect Poe1 development? Do you need to be force fed the most basic information available?

GGG: We will continue PoE1 development by having 2 teams. We love PoE1 and dont want to do our playerbase dirty!

Players: Cool, we trust you!

GGG: Just kidding, we actually didnt even start developing on next PoE1 update and didnt tell you for months, so you would buy our yearly supporter packs, lol! There is only a PoE2 team now!

Players: Thats not what youve been promising us for years though, this sucks!

Perq: You are entitled crybabies!

Waiting 10+ months (at least) for an update, when regular updates are 3-4 months is not a "slight delay".


Have you watched the video? They fucking admitted they made a mistake. And yes, saying shit like "I spent 30$, I get to decide how it is spent" is entitled as fuck
Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.
Now i can be proud that i don't own any badges, throwing your money at companies always ends poorly.
I understand the disapointment, even the the anger. But the way the "discours" (d)evolves right now gives me this impression: Not GGG is the problem. It is the community. Or what I hope only a (VERY) vocal minority is.

To everyone who is loosing his shit right now (I am definitly not adressing frustrated players but the toxic and vile stuff going on): You really think you get what you want by threatening, insulting and by being just outright mean and complete hyperbolic? We still are still spoiled, they are still listening - even apologizing in a rather humble way, compared to the rest of the industry.

But sure, burn another one and see where it leads us all.

By the way, the question was rhetoric, nobody must feel incentivized to answer. I won't return here anyway. I will rather play both games and simply have fun.

All of these has already been addressed by them, multiple times.
You do not understand how development of anything works, so I won't bother trying to explain.

Claiming something is explicitly not happening multiple times and then reneging on that well after the fact is not a part of any standard development cycle infact if you were to develop in that manner after having told stakeholders you would likely be liable for fraud.

And as a professional Software Developer and former Network Engineer I understand the ethical and legal implications of both, so get out of here buddy.
"improve the structure of our studio"

I did not need for you to provide evidence that you have no clue what development of anything works, but thanks for providing it.

Also - make sure to provide the spending list to your boss at the end of the month, since as "professional" developer you understand how paying for things work. Lmao XD

made a mistake? yeah it was a mistake, upon mistake, upon mistake, upon giving us nothing. So If your mother promises that she will make a cake, and so you sit and wait. Then she does nothing for 6 months, so she stick her head out of the kitchen and says, hey there I know I promised you a cake, and that I would not use all the ovens in the house, but I just wanted to make a lot of burning garbage instead and use all the ovens for burning garbage. And then says. As you smell, burning garbage got some issues, and until I have found a way to stop it from being either burning or garbage, then I cant stop using all the ovens.
Yes yes, I know I could have gone out bought new ovens, and brought them home 6 months ago when I realized that burning garbage was the only thing I wanted to make, but you know, I did not do that.
Did I have to begin making burning garbage at that moment? no I did not. Did I have to use all of the ovens, no I did not.


But they did so anyway. And that is issue. They could have worked on POE2 for another 6 months, and we would never have known. They did not. They could have chosen to leave a couple of developers, or hire more people. Chose not to do so. They could have done a lot of things, to fix the issue. They did none of that.

And this is where many of us are feeling let down. We just wanted something, almost anything, sure maybe not a cake, then at least a muffin, a legacy league, a legacy event like Sentinel + kalandra.

You might say that is entitled. I say that is inexcusable poor project management. I ought to know, I have run multiple projects at once.
