when is the release date from POE 2 (not beta)

Oh they are not gonna go full release, not ever, at most symbolically call a certain version a full release.

Let's use Last Epoch for example, have you wonder why LE has one of the best Chinese language support? Even GGG who is fully owned by Tencent at this point doesn't have great chinese support, but LE does, that type of support isn't just a language pack, you need to actually invest money and resource to do, that's quite particular right? Why EHG a very very small studio at the time of the release spend their not so big of a budget on that. Because Chinese players basically made their game possible, more than half of sales before 1.0 release they had is from China and there are communities voluntarily advocate the game for EHG, that game is famous before it actually is, the language support is a response to the ones supporting them, a giveback.

In an alternative reality, EHG did not get support from China, they lose more than half of their initial sales, not enough funds back to further develop the game, it is not at all impossible that the game never got to release, money isn't everything but money is always essential.

Well, GGG is not at all that, they do not need reputation, POE built so much reputation already millions of players, some of whom never even played POE are willing to invest 30 dollar pack to play POE2, oh free to play my ass, it hasn't been free to play for a long while, the sales number from that 30 dollar entry pack along is a huge number most ARPG making company will never see.

This early access is only EA in content, the game is already released, even tho players are treaded like testers, you are all paid customers even if you didn't realize it yet, they don't need to do a full release to sell you again, you already paid.

This is a game that changes and brings new stuff every few months. All the beta/early access/release don't make much sense anyway, it's all PR words.
There is no point where you can say "the game is done". It will be done in the sense it's dead, the day it doesn't receive updates anymore.

This is not a story mode game where you can say "I finished the game". You can finish your goals and/or your fun, but the game has no end.

This season is so bad, I think it should be over as soon as possible, and stop letting players play monotonous BD, equipment is not easy to sell

Not only is it hard to sell, it is virtually impossible to buy unless you have days to waste waiting for a seller to get in touch and then avoid being ripped off. Hence the need for an Auction House or similar.

Man, I have the same thought as you. But AH alone won't solve all issues. We might need a cooldown to reselling... With a lot of build diversity. Having only one viable build bottleneck the gear and make easy to manipulate the trading.
