We're very aware that many company logos wouldn't fit in the PoE game world. We've turned down offers from a lot of companies because what they asked for would upset us as gamers. Razer is different for a few reasons. Their logo fits well with the game world and their company culture is very similar to ours. I spent some time with their CEO earlier this year - he is a true gamer and an awesome guy. The software that is being promoted is actually useful for playing PoE, because we don't have voice chat built into the client at this stage.

Partnerships like this (where we can find ones that don't hurt the game) are really important for the future of PoE. I share just as much concern as you do about bad partnerships hurting the game, and will make sure that doesn't happen.

Sadly, but not surprisingly, he simply doesn't get it, and is clearly being hypocritical in this case so he can justify the deal. The downward spiral continues.

Damn it. :D People said in the game it didnt excisted, and I showed it to them without telling how I got it. :p Aaaand now its not rare at all. xD
Yeah, I'm not really sure how I feel about this....seeing company logos is very odd in path of exile, but at the same time, razer's logo itself doesn't look that out of place if you don't know about razer. Perhaps GGG took that into consideration? I wouldn't mind the effect if I had never heard of razer and didn't know it was a company logo. I just hope this doesn't start a slippery slope.

I've supported everything you've done so far except:

-Removing cool looking auras to add simpler ones with excuse of lag, then selling new effects ones


There's a big difference between EVERYONE having extremely flashy auras and only MTX buyers having flashy auras. They become a lot more rare, so it's easier on most people's computers.

You sir, made me spit coffee all over my monitor... Well done!

I get the fact that stuff like this is 100% optional, but it seems very out of place for the culture that GGG has built up so far.

Good to see GGG getting their name out there. Free advertising for everyone! Not sure why some people are butthurt, though. GGG is a small company, and they have to get their name out some way some how Stop persecuting them for doing just that and appreciate the free footprints. If you don't want it, don't get it; no-one's forcing you to get them. I never have owned any razer item because some of their items are too pricey for my liking, and that's just a preference. But I wont give GGG sh*t for partnering up with a well known company just for some free publicity. It's good for PoE and the growing of the community.

Good job as always GGG, and looking forward to that new support gem.

I don't really like the idea of in-game advertisements for a company. (refering to the logos in the footprints).

It feels completely out of place in Path of Exile.

I'm sorry to be THAT guy (the one that's not happy about good news), but this quite ugly and sad in my opinion.


completely agree with this, feels like a sellout
