POE 2 early access paywall
|
These threads are so unnecessary .. Blizzard released an unfinished product for literally 100$ and are asking 40$ for a lackluster expansion, meanwhile GGG gave you 10 years of content for free and all they ask for is 30$ to play their new game early, or wait until full release to be free? AND you also get 300 shop points which you eventually want anyway for stash tabs? Like some people are so spoilt its unbelievable.
They put in 1000s of hours of work into this, they have one of the best track records of delivering fun, high quality content. What other gaming company releases products of this quality for only 30$ and make them free afterwards? And people still complain |

" Did you think this post through? Don't buy it, your problem is solved. " It is absolutely possible to play PoE for free, entirely, without caveat. Not a single part of PoE required you to engage with money, sponsorship, advertising, or any other form of consumer monetisation to play. The vast majority of people choose to pay something to enhance that experience somehow, but unlike nearly every other free to play game, PoE used the original model, where they make an actual good game and people buy things because they like the game. GGG isn't working for nothing, but everyone who pays them money does so by choice, not because it's necessary to play any part of the game.

" I have friends who played this game for 100s of hours completely for free. I also played my first two leagues completely free. If its not free for you thats because you have made a choice to buy something |

" If you decide to spend 7000$ on the game and feel like complaining afterwards thats a you problem. I know what a free to play model is and I understand that somebody pays for the game. I have spent ~170$ myself in about 2000hrs of playing the game. Obviously GGG need to make money. If you (not saying you do) feel regret about spending a certain amount of money on a game I'd argue that a large part of the responsibility lies with the person for misspending their money. Is the monetisation system dangerous for people who are unable to control their spending urges? Maybe, yes. Should the responsibility lie with GGG for that? In my opinion, no.

" I am certain they did. Considering the hype, they are expected to make a metric 4$$Load of money from this. Well deserved, too. On that note, they're not charging 70 usd for access and you're not paying only for the access, but you get more value for your purchase. Last edited by AlvinL_#4492 on Nov 25, 2024, 5:10:09 AM

I'm assuming the angle here is "but but but, you need stash tabs.."

anyway, i have a F2P account that except the character level cap, it can do almost first half of WOW due to level rescaling. It also remove the gold cap too so that not likely run out of space yet
meanwhile POE charge you money for stash tab, which very unlikely to have 4 tab to beat uber elder So, you like which kind of F2P? This is the start of forum signature: I am not a GGG employee. About the username: Did you know Kowloon Gundam is made in Neo Hong Kong?
quote from the first page: "Please post one thread per issue, and check the forum for similar posts first" This is the end of forum signature |

I havent played to POE since 2015 I think. (started during the beta).
I am super hyped about this game. Cannot wait. The crossplatform (ps5-pc) + coop couch is incredible. "Si vis pacem, para bellum"

" you can do all content with 4 tabs |
