Tencent has Invested in Grinding Gear Games
Chris logic: sells us out for a multi-million dollar pay day to a company known for shady business practices and expect people to still buy "supporter packs". You must be out of your mind.

" Thanks for the unabridged version of War and Peace there. I skimmed it, and was unimpressed by your opinions regarding the game's alleged shortcomings. On pretty much every point. And that's all that needs to be said. You're wrong. As to your inability to deal civilly with others in a discussion, and your pride in resorting to personal attacks, that's frankly not my problem - it's yours. The mods will deal with you whenever you start acting like a triggered gender studies major angry zir just got called into sling Starbuck's on Friday night. Keep it pithy, you don't get plastic and metal participation trophies for word count. Last edited by Sabranic_SilverDeth#2793 on May 31, 2018, 8:06:21 PM

Looks like we'll finally get a real Auction House for trading gear.

So it finally happened. I foresaw this long time ago. With their overexpanding studio (they have more than 120 employees now) they need more money to support themselves. I guess supporter packs and cosmetic microtransactions were not enough. Sad. I guess, now GGG can produce even more quality content with even more quality nerfs that will invalidate your time and resource investments forcing you to play new builds whether you like them or not. Truly genius game design. I wish Path of Nerfs and its amazijng clear-speed build diversity all the good things. And I'm glad that after all these years of playing this game on and off since the open beta I had the precognition of what will become of it and NEVER bought anything in the game with real money. GGG deserves every inch of Tencent.

Guess I'm done buying Supporter Packs and MTX.
I understand how one could sell out. There must be many hard decisions to be made, being responsible for the livelihood of your entire staff. |

So, I've been talking with some other long-time supporters of PoE, and everyone seems to object, unanimously, to your decision not to be up-front about the 100% acquisition within six years.
What is UP, Chris? Why would you hide this from your oldest supporters? It only makes an already terrible-looking situation look even worse. This latest development has toasted your reputation in a way even the previous 80% buyout didn't, because it further cements in people's minds the perception of deception and overall dishonesty. How about an update on the real story, and why you chose not to tell it in the first place? Wash your hands, Exile!

I wonder how many people will stop buyimg MTXs and supporter packs now that the money will be going to a foreign place. Really sad to hear this news. Hopefully nothing will happen to this game. Welp thanks GGG...

Could be good, could be bad.
Time will tell. Tencent has a good rep for the most part. They did have a controlling stake in Riot Games before buying them out. People don't like change and fear the unknown. I agree it no longer makes sense to buy supporter packs since there is now solid financial backing from a megacorp. It could be worse, they could have sold the entire company to them.
