so you abandon the game i love and paid for, for a game i don't enjoy or care. great job. i mean, why give your long term fans what they want?

i do not mind that you want to develop a game that is more in line with your personal vision of how an ARPG should be. But the negative impact on PoE really makes me wish PoE2 was never a thing.

It's amazing to me all these doom saying people with the transparency. You can't get that from any company.

Regards to PoE2 pulling resources from PoE1, that is fine. And sure PoE2 has more to iron out. Anyone who was here from the beginning on PoE1 when this game was just 3 acts get it. When PoE2 gets flushed out it'll be just as good if not better then PoE1 in a different way. If it takes a few more months for PoE1 to get it's league thats fine, as long as its not another necropolis league :D. That was rough. All in all, im loyal and die hard to the end for PoE in general. I still prefer PoE1 over PoE2 right now, but thats because PoE2 isn't flushed out nor complete. And Diablo 4 wont ever be touched by me no matter what they do with Rod at the helm and his narcissistic behavior. Still havent purchased the expansion and I never will. And Last Epoch is the only other game I have partial interest in but still not as high as PoE.

Lets be real, most of us aint going anywhere, just alot of people have no patience for excuses. It's almost like they never worked a job with deadlines and expectations before. I work for an MSP and we have server projects and everything that gets delayed because we run into unforeseen situations.

Anyway, I think its a good call to get PoE2 in a much more stable state with your top talent and get that out the door so both games can breathe and live. Do what you gotta do.

Keep it going, we all will be here, including those who claim "disappointment".

Its GGG's choice to go down this route and it's my choice to end my financial support. I spent well over a thousand dollars on this game and regularly bought new supporter packs. This ends today. I do not agree with them ending support for poe I for the foreseeable future to focus on poe II which is a hardcore-like experience.
I hope all the new players they got will start buying supporter packs and mtx because I wont after they are clearly indicating that long time poe1 players are not their priority anymore.
