idk about that chief.

POE2 still lapped poe1's peak new league numbers. And in the trough it still has 5x as many players.

To say that POE2 "bombed" is a statement of such magnificent delusion that it can only be called copium.

read my last 2 comments if not deleted by ggg yet.

poe 2 was a MASSIVE failure.

a majority of people playing dont use steam and are using the standalone client.

there are also playstation and xbox users that are not included.


i think a major issue is people are treating this like a full game release, balanced and good to go.

GGG is afraid to push important updates out in a timely manner because the one time they did do it everyone cried.

let them make the changes that are necessary and stop forcing a road block because you followed broken cookie cutter flavor of the month guide that is obviously not intentional.

personally in early access i really would not care if they deleted progress every month to throw in more stuff to be tested and balanced.

PoE2 has burnt a lot of goodwill that was built up for it by PoE1.

I PROMISE YOU that they told tencent that poe 2 wasn't going to be like poe 1 and it'd retain hundreds of thousands if not a million players throughout the league and i'll also promise you they told tencent that it would get 1.5 mill on steam on launch.

they said in all the interviews where they have been asked that they dont want long term player retention and that aiming for it is the wrong model for this game genre. they want people to come, play for a month and then leave.

you care enough to make promises like this about what the devs think but you dont care enough to even watch the interviews where the devs tell us what they think?





pub g is a totally different game genre. its like comparing daily customer traffic patterns in a night club vs a fast food restaurant.

Well, if there we big update with reset i will come back surely!

i love it, no more lag spikes.

its honestly insane that its keep this many people, Remember but its cross platform so were not even counting a large amount of players .

truely mind bogging how many people will be on when 1.0 hits

Dont forget that players from China are included in steam figures for PoE2, they arent in PoE1.

So, Beginning of December up unto middle of February is 'Just over a month' ?
