Why? Because i want some of them, and i don't want steam. In order to enjoy the full game, i need steam, so it's a negative aspect no matter how you twist and turn it, there are ways to market without shafting your core base by excluding them from content.

EDIT: And one more thing, no matter how many fanboys misunderstand disgruntlement for ungratefulness, it doesn't change that steam-only is a diviation from the purity and the quality that path of exile represents in 99% of it's design! I don't care what you think, that's just what it is.

Everytime i get a chance to take shots at steam-only microtransactions i will.

I'm really not feeling this steam only. I must admit it offends me greatly. From the first moment i saw something cool-ingame, only to later find out it was steam-only, i have felt the sting of betrayal inside my heart.

Like i feel when games are ruined to fit a console, so i hate when i can't get the full game on regular pc and have to bind myself to all sorts of shit that i don't want, in order to unlock it.

That purity is mostly converved in PoE, with a very few exception. This is one of them. It feels like betrayal, it feels unfair and it's plain bullshit.

Stop with the shit for steam, or at least give me access to it. Price is not a problem, it's about principles and about not sacrificing my playing experience to access the full game. I don't like steam, i like clean games with no extra bullshit.

If GGG has made some deals with steam so that they are forced to make exclusive items for it, like they did with razor, then i have one message for them:

It is not acceptable by the highest standard to threat players like that, it's deeply offending to players who want quality over industry chains. A thorn in my eye every time i am reminded of it, one that cuts deep too.

END.

You really don't like steam do you.

No i really don't!!!!

It's probably just based on random dislike more than reason, in my mind steam represents the "play lots of random shit", whereas i'm the one who want few but properly good games that you can invest thousands of hours in, like poe.

I mean it's maybe not as bad as i made it out in that post, i was like 1 min left to leave my place when i had to type it in haste from the heart, but without trying to disrespect GGG i would lie if i said the feelings aren't true. I really don't like steam only things.
