I'm more of a think outside the box kinda guy, I guess. Maybe someone will figure out how to be able to switch control of GGG, someday. I'll be keeping it in my thoughts.

i bet Chris has full control or he wouldnt be there. He got like 25 million from sale... thats fuck you money.

Tencent own GGG or most of it. The ownership of GGG belong to Tentcent. Even if Chris offer to buy it back, Tencent can refuse to sell.

Go fund another game. That is better ROI.

Is this because of harvest? It has to be

...Try tripling that and then some, and...uh, when you sell your share of a business you're *literally* giving up a measure of control; part of the reason they chose Tencent as their ultimate owner was, it can be confidently surmised, because Tencent very typically allows its game developers to retain a significant amount of control -- but never full. Too many obligations to the parent company.

So...virtually nothing of what you said is true. Except the last four words.

Now that they know how to profit better, than they did, when the game was new, they’re better suited to be completely independent again. Key word is completely.

I don't quite follow this. The acquisition happened in 2018 if I recall correctly, by which time the current league and MTX cadence were already well-established. What's the difference between now and then?

They're owned by a Chinese megacorp. There isn't really any outside the box when it comes to being owned by Tencent. They'd shutter GGG and shift PoE to one of their many other studios, or simply part out its assets, before they'd sell it.

There is no going back even if Chris & Co. desperately wanted to.
