Spend $30 this "expansion", no questions asked.
" Glad to hear it. In these dark days of PoE1, we need to smile and chuckle a little bit. Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

" Poe1 isn't a free game lol. I've spent more buying tabs than all combined diablo series, le, and a few other titles. In fact the game is unplayable without at least map, currency and fragment tab. As far as your post concerned, best thing you can do is support if you like the league, stay away if you don't. |

" Your positivity is lovely, except that we haven't seen the financial statement for 2024 yet. Now, about your points or arguments... 1) Two successful PoE1 launches/leagues? You're saying Necropolis was deemed a successful league, well that's quite a bold claim. Perhaps, you're referring about Affliction, which also came during the holiday season that also featured a Gauntlet event and when it comes to Settlers no matter how popular or successful it may have been the revenue missed from two other leagues that never happened negates that success. 2) The PoE2 early access revenue was $30 for entry and despite the low cost to appeal toward new or console players, well it did cost significantly to be produced, where the game was built on a new and modern engine, which was possible due to PoE1 success. I never saw or treated PoE as a "main", but a "filler" game and as time passed by it became the only/main game for years, because the industry devolved or stagnated. I was already aware of what to expect from GGG especially as time passed by, but those who had more or bigger expectations, usually the biggest supporters eventually their numbers diminished through the decade for X reasons and the F2P monetizing model won't be as effective, especially since they monetized it already when most have bought stash tabs and have so many MTX. The rushed PoE2 launch the game to arrive during the holiday season, its poor retention and the delayed PoE1 leagues it's why I discussed how now more than ever every $ that's supported toward PoE1 will matter a lot more for the company going forward.

" Exactly. Which makes your entire thread pointless. |

"Maybe one of these days AI will be smart enough to analyze and simulate GGG's code lol |

" Your negativity is lovely, except that we haven't seen the financial statement for 2024 yet. And regarding Necropolis: Sure, it was a polarizing league with mixed reviews, but the league is third when it comes to initial player numbers, and we all know that the "hype season" and the first week(s) into a league, is when GGG earns the most. " And you may be right. But this responsibility shouldn't be left to the players. It's up to GGG to show us that they deserve our money by making quality content.

" Wait, did you throw in the towel on competitive PoE racing to become GGG’s new financial advisor or something? Gotta respect the career pivot, having all that insider knowledge about their sudden money troubles and desperate need for income. Meanwhile, the company’s doing just fine financially… it’s the workforce that’s the bottleneck, lmao. " “Big supporters dwindle over time, so F2P won’t work anymore” Yeah… every active supporter, new or old, has already done more than enough to push PoE past that threshold, enough for GGG to even build a second game. And guess what? Those kinds of players always exist in any live-service F2P game. They’re the reason folks like you can play without spending. So if you’re that worried, you can support them right now. Oh wait, we’re not even playing the game but trying to reinvent their business model.

You are not wrong but not right either, convoluted and obscure.
