widescreen resolution removed from the game.

Talking about competitive advantage here, since people are bringing it up (and it's really not a competitive advantage to have a widescreen like this) it's a MUCH larger competitive advantage to buy stash tabs for selling and sorting. If the barrier to entry for pay-2-win in this "oh so competitive game" is that the money has to go to GGG vs your hardware manufacturer, then introduce a widescreen MTX that turns on full 32:9 support again.

To be frank, I'd be pissed as hell to do it, but I'd probably buy the thing just so the game doesn't feel like a shoddy piece of work from the 90's all over again.

Lets be fair, this is a completely different type of issue than that.

yes, it's a completely different issue.

i was just trying to troll a bit and hint at the possibility that widescreen users might not like the "solution" ggg comes up with.

most of the time the community tried to pressure ggg into something, the solution hasn't really helped bringging the game forward.

At this point, I don't think they can make it worse unless they shrink the viewable area even more.

Just stopped by the forums to see if anything was being done about this issue. Sad to see the answer is no.

It won't change because POE is hardcore eSport for a couple of streamers.

Still holding to my guns, been a massive supporter of GGG for years. I refuse to support to this company until it's reverted.

I'm joining that train. Not purchasing new supporter packs, no matter how cool and unique the new MTXs might be.

Got a new 32:9 screen making sure it was delivered before the next league start. Got it, and just found out about this.

I'm with you now. Another league is announced and still no word from the devs on the mistakes they did last league. It's just sad.

+1 GGG

Take note - you're losing my ~$250/league going forward!

Hope it's worth it!

Same here, I truly love the game and I can live with questionable balance changes during the years. I do not hate on GGG. I know it's not going to make a difference, but I am very stubborn on this and I will not spend a single cent on the game as long as this stone-age ideology isn't reverted.

I still wish everyone a fun new league and holidays.

Bump.
