I thought devs said PoE 2 wont affect PoE 1 leagues
" They have lots of money. L O T S Money is literally not a problem baring having been bought by China Corp that siphoned it out. They've been making 40=50% after tax profit year on year, we're talking multiple 10s of millions. They could hire 50 devs and not blink. You've been robbed blind with "supporting" and now a lot of people can't face that those last 10 years of soul and $$ investment is for naught. Brace yourself, they'll also make 1 disappear over time. |

It's kinda funny people didn't notice it before, i was arguing with someone when they released patch notes in some league of the league, ruthless and PoE 2 and it had almost nothing in it and i said that's it's funny how when they put attention to 2 different things than normal PoE suddenly theres 66% less content.
But people have to get all the copium of "There's a seperate team for everything" well as you can see there isn't, they added ruthless when they can't even work on 2 games but they had to add yet another mode to spend even more time on something else. Small Indie Company doesn't have the money to hire more people |

" Could be. Depends how PoE2 EA interacts with future PoE 1 leagues in the future. So we probably get more league refreshes EHG last Epoch style till PoE2 is out of EA and PoE1 goes back to its old 3(4?) month cycles. Masterpiece of 3.16 lore

" Do you know how capitalism works? Even if they'd be drowning in money, if they can make more they WILL do anything to make more money. I'm just glad they don't listen to any social messaging crap and just make good games. About the chinese money, don't think for a moment that tencent just spills milions of dollars in their hands for a smile, they are there in the shadows in case things go bad financially in which case we will see some bad shit going down, like what happened in Riot Games. Also I have no issues with the money I spent on PoE, not like Chris yanked my wallet out of my grasping hands lol, I don't feel robbed at all since I'm an adult and know what robbed means.

It is the console porting.
All the releases, QoL, timings and content have had console in mind especially Path of Exile 2. 3 months, which was the old release cycle, isn't that long time but makes sense to add 1 month to have console in mind to make sure it will be working in time. Missing one of the 3 expansions is fault of PoE2 release but could have been 1 out of 4 instead of 1 out of 3. PoE1 could have been ported to have new mechanics to be combined with PoE2 with fewer changes if it were to be only PC. The WASD movement from top down view and auto casting is clear sign of having console in mind at least 50% efficiency or even more. Console is source of money for them definitely but that is why the content is delayed, simplified and dismissed. Delayed: Because of extra work from design, to mechanics and backend. Simplified: Because of inferior control of multiple things. Dismissed: Because created and then tested mechanic couldn't be handled by the controller or hardware. They just chose money over quality of content. Business is business. World of Warcraft had the same problem, and has still. They are 'people pleasing' and seek solution for everybody. Now consumers include people who hate each others' content and whatever they make will be shit. Edit: And yes they said "console has not effect". It is just PR talk.

" lol robbed is a funny way of putting it. PoE 1 is in a good spot. PoE 2 will take more time but inevitably concessions will happen to make PoE 2 a viable long term investment. Look at the landscape. GGG is NOT going down the same awful road other game development companies are going. Tencent is NOT EA/Ubisoft either. Imagine being a Bioware fan and waiting 5 years for the garbage they are doling out today. Or a Star Wars fan hoping Disney gets desperate enough to sell the intellectual property. We have it better than a lot of others. |

"Lol. Lmao even. "Source: Trust me bro? |

I do believe in GGG, And I do hope to see just a little bit more for that new league so we can enjoy some crazy league where the stuff will be just broken :D
