RIP my money goes to Xbox. It was meant to support Path of Exile (pc version)

But you know of course that they can spend money you have donated on chicks if they want?

About time they got something better than diablo 3, blizzard will not be happy

I just hope future updates aren't dumbed down for console...

To be honest, I'm not happy at all with this announcement.
Skyrim, Deus Ex:HR, and every other game I've played that was designed with consoles in mind has suffered noticeably from it.

Sure GGG will stay fully committed to the PC version, but it's very likely that balance considerations from the console version (which has a different balance framework) will creep in and compromise the focus.
Also every programmer has the basic urge to reduce duplication, which leads to trade offs and concessions, just to reduce the differences (in code and design space) between the versions. I don't care about consoles at all and thus don't condone compromises in that area.

The argument that it will take away resources from the PC version is certainly way more than compensated for by the increased income console mtx will generate, so they can hire people and increase the overall output across the company.
This is the great (albeit only) plus from the announcement and probably its main motivator, but as mentioned above, for me personally there are big negative points.

So, keep on rocking GGG, just wanted to contribute my minority opinion. I consider using a controller on PC akin to crippling yourself (then again I play mainly games like PoE, Europa Universalis 4, Kerbal Space Program, for which controllers don't make sense [KSP on PS4 is embarrassing])... thus the UI already looks crippled in the trailer, which unfortunately seems to be mandatory for consoles.

Will it come to PS4 this year ?
Will it be possible to play offline ?
Thanks

So how do you guys like Forsaken Masters, The Awakening, Ascendancy and Atlas of Worlds, those were all created with console in mind. So don't go getting your panties in a bunch.

Expanding the player base is nothing but good news. More players, more money, better development. I really have no clue wtf everyone is so worried about. It's basic economics. Expand expand.

You clearly have no idea how the whole process works. More money could easily mean hiring on many more people, complicating the pipeline ending up in a watered down version of the game where too many cooks in the kitchen all just had to get in their say to try and justify their job and vision of what POE should be. Sound familiar? yah D3. Anyone with a concern during this time is extremely valid to have it and your "moe money, better game" argument doesn't work.
