Path of Exile is Coming to Xbox One!

Firstly...like alot of other points...wait what! This was definitely a surprise.

Secondly, it seems that there are quite a lot of statements saying GGG need more money or XBOX one desperate for players.

Technically both statements are true.
GGG is a private company, it needs profits to continue running, to continue grinding their corporate gears. Therefore they will invest in new ways to attract more people. The PC market will continue to grow as new content and improvements made to the game are released. However to generate a new income, GGG have to branch out and diversify their audience; console gamers are just that.

With the added income, more content, more development, more updates, more improvements, more support will be generated. This is only a good thing.

There are some possible consequences, if the console release goes sour then that is investment and time lost which could have been spent developing the game. However knowing GGG's history and the dedication to this game, I am willing to bet any issue will be resolves quickly post launch to give a great game to a new audience.

Overall, whilst we may moan about the dedication of resources for a platform we wont use (talking to PC users here) the potential rewards may very well outstrip that by providing better capacity for development to the PC branch.

Give GGG their chance and support them, it will benefit us all on the long run. My only advice is to TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST the game on console for as long as you can. The more bugs eliminated and more optimisations carried out, the better the release will be.

Full support for GGG's branch to consoles even though i dislike the xbox.

wtf

Only good things will come from xbox release . More money , more players for ggg = expanding team, faster development time , more intresting tech in the future

Let me tell how it will really happen :

GGG want more money. So GGG need more players. So they decided to make an XBOX version.
Players of XBOX = mainly casual players. Casual players cannot understand the complexity of PoE.
So PoE has to become more simple. If not, Xbox Players will cry and not buy PoE. And GGG will not get more money.

Is it hard to understand ?

This made my day. Might be the dumbest post of the month. The amount of butthurt in this thread cracks me up. I'm bored to shit with PoE on PC. Played for years. When it comes to Xbox, I will more than likely pick it back up full time with a ton of friends. The community on PC is absolute shit. Trade is absolute shit. I doubt the Xbox can be worse.

Man if you thought that post was bad...

Don't go into General Discussion. PC community is dreadful.

Just wow...If you could only mine all the salt in these posts you would never need to sell anymore supporter packs! Cheers all!

I just wish to go back to the past and tell myself to not buy any packs at all, because the game would turn out the same as others in the future. Regret. Is. Real.

What is funny with guys like you is that you just cannot argue.
ALL the licences from PC that have been ported to consoles have been deteriorated. This is the reality. Simple as that. So I fear that PoE will sink too.

You say I am dumb ok cool man, IDC, you just cannot argue that is what I see.

My hope for all of this: They make simplified spell effects to improve console performance that we on PC get access to. I sometimes play in groups and all the crazy CoC and CWDT spells going off everywhere makes my computer chug on big groups like breaches and strongboxes. If we could get a tiny, low-impact discharge effect that would be wonderful. One thing that would be fun to have: A button or toggle so I could shut off the display of other people's MTX, I don't need to see your glowy weapons, I need to see the enemies moving in real-time.

Thanks for all you do, GGG. POE just keeps getting better, and I trust it will continue to.

Keep up the great work, it is appreciated!
