A Message to Path of Exile 1 Players

Please ignore Reddit. Those are all idiots.

For me:

POE 1 Peak Players all time: around 180.000
POE 2 Player still: over 200.000

So do the math....

All the doom and gloom in the comments, they're being really honest and transparent so I have to show respect to that.

rofl they knew this was coming when they did interviews earlier this month and lied about it then

[Removed by Support], the reactions... Even if they release nothing and PoE 2 has a lot of flaws, they don't owe you anything, actually. They haven't shut down the servers; you can still play the game.

For those talking about refunds, you've spent thousands of hours on a free game and chose to pay for skins—that's your decision. At this point, they could literally walk away with the money, and they wouldn't owe anything to a bunch of whiners who think having a league every three months is some kind of obligation.

The guy looks embarrassed in his video. But honestly, you can cry and make threats all you want—most of you are addicted. That's what this game does, and even if it's in two years, you'll be back for your fix and your little skin.

Calm down—nothing in life is owed to you.

"it's totally fine for GGG to go back on their commitments to not let PoE2 development impact PoE1"

I keep seeing this smoothbrained take and it's so painful.

Completely understandable, been having fun with other games in the meantime and next month has some big releases.

poe2 isn't ready and isn't as good as poe1

after finishing poe2 I wanted to go back to poe1's new/next league

real shame and will probably end up stop playing both for a while since no content in poe1 and poe2 needs a lot more time (and fixes, not to mention content)

Good, dump POE 1. We need attention to a newer and more refined ARPG which is POE2. As an Ex-Diablo gamer POE2 hits just right, ya'll really need to get with the times on this.. POE1 came out over 10 years ago. It's a new adventure.

Take all the time you need GGG! I'm sure everyone here will better appreciate a solid well-developed game release over a rushed compromise-filled game being dumped out to market (not that you'd do that). I really do hope you can tune out the crowds enough to have fun developing the game/leagues because you can always taste the love that goes into developing games.

Thanks GGG for trashing Poe 1 for a copy of Undecember, thank you very much
