also steam is a fraction of real numbers

Steam accounts for more than 65% of the total playerbase. You can do the math and come to the conclusion that Steam numbers alone paint a very clear picture.

its bcs ppl cant play/join... its dc + rollback nonstop

The bashing of POE1 vs POE2 needs to stop. If GGG can make it happen, they will ensure that both games co-exist as originally planned. After all, both games generate profit, which is the purpose of every game studio.

This.

I couldn't play on launch day. It would keep kicking me back out to login. Then it was confirmed to be a server side issue for *some* accounts. So I had to just wait until it was patched.

Then there's the fun problem of my friends already being in maps with a massive headstart. Combined with there still being some random dc issues.

Really takes the excitement of a new league away. Guessing a lot of people just didn't bother trying to play again yet, that had similar problems.

Update: 24h later, prime time in EU on a Saturday and we're already 33k down. It's not looking good bois.

They can login, they just can't stay in game.

It won't, major performance issues cause huge drops on any game, league start is the most important time and plenty of people can't play to an acceptable standard.

If it was a paid game there would be plenty of refunds as it is its just gonna have a knock on for next league tbh, i'm quite salty about it myself and i haven't lost anything actually relevant yet.

Look at the trend of PoE1 leading up to Settlers league.

Then realize they killed the momentum of PoE1 when they stopped updating it for almost a full year.

PoE1 players are the ones who keep the lights on at GGG.

Be happy you get to play PoE2 and stop shitting on PoE1.

Edit: and the MASSIVE server problems and crashes arent helping launch numbers either.

Sir I see your massive wall of supporter packs and desire to keep the lights on at GGG, Campbell's chunky soups have reached $6 Canadian dollars in my region. Since you are so charitable perhaps you can buy the AetherSolace Campbell Steak and Potato supporter pack with your immense wealth. In exchange I will tell everyone PoE2 sucks and PoE1 is better for each can of Soup.
