How the Betrayal Launch Went

.. a few weeks of summer holiday around christmas/new years.. I know you're on the southern hemisphere but that is never gonna sound normal to someone who lives in the polar regions of the north :D

already got my steam nomination for labour of love.. its clear that PoE is just that.

Thanks GGG for this huge launch.

Probably a common sentiment, but after the disappointing Blizzcon I ended up reinstalling PoE and blazing through most of the game at the end of the Delve league, seeing how much you've improved since the last time I played ~2ish years ago. In a couple weeks I dumped 50 hours into the game again and didn't even start the Atlas.

Then I saw the Betrayal trailer. And now I'm playing it, and this is just the best ARPG out there. It's overwhelming in all the best ways.

In a world where everyone is simplifying their games to try and capture a wider audience, you guys are just standing there stubborn. You keep adding complexity. You refuse to make the game easier, or the mechanics simpler.

And now people are understanding why this stubborn approach is so good. People want to think when playing games. They want to be surprised, they want to fail sometimes.

Congratulations on this success. Never compromise in your design.

"We can't express our appreciation enough for all of your enthusiasm, feedback and support."

Uhhh, more like won't. You could give everyone some points with a keystroke and it would cost you literally nothing.

You could implement a way to gift/trade duplicate/unwanted mtx. That would cost you some time but since allowing duplicates and preventing sharing was shady in the first place, that's on you.

ATM you're one of the game companies that are gonna force the governments of earth to kick you off the gambling addiction lootcrate gravy train.

You could take steps to move poe towards something other than a casino Skinner box hybrid, make it a little less abundantly clear that this place has ONE purpose only. But you won't.

This post is insulting. You're just patting yourself on the back. You don't appreciate anything. Ask the mega supporters who paid enough to get items in the game how they feel about things.

Your company tag line might as well be "But what have you done for me today?"

Yes, your game is fun, and the model is good, but like the game itself it needs trade reform badly.

smoothest? Buggiest!!!!

Congratulations on the numbers bump.

You guys are great!! A lot of work goes into this and you handle it gracefully. I wish you the best these holidays and the future to come!

"smoothest launch ever"

say that to the friend I tried to get into the game who was constantly DCing SIX HOURS after the update went live.

Thank you for yet another amazing league and, yet again, exceeding our expectations.

Hope you have a fantastic summer, you all deserve it!!!!

Great expansion, GGG. A slightly bumpy start, which I thought you expeditious and competently addressed. I call servers being overwhelmed at launch hour a whole lotta love for PoE.

Great work <3
