What went wrong in the development of poe 2? Is it possible that poe 2 will be canceled?


Since it was announced at the end of 2019 we have only received small fragments of the development of the game when the premise was to release the beta at the end of 2020? Was it a hallucination? I remember when we saw the announcement of poe 2, a friend and I said that there would be a beta at the end of 2020.
We are in 2023 and the only thing we have on the agenda is a second Exilecon (totally unnecessary in my opinion), in the summer of this year where the beta date will be announced and not the final release date of the game.
Don't you think that this second Exilecon is an act of pure pretentious narcissism?
It gave the impression that GGG was a step ahead of Blizzard, by reacting quickly to the Diablo IV announcement, implying that they had the game/patch (because poe 2 is just a big patch to poe 1) ahead of time. that really was in plain sight of the facts.

Will poe 2 die before launch? because as I understand it, the last leagues of poe, it is not that they are having a very good reception either. Is it really so? I don't mean to generate hate towards the game, I love poe but I'm just genuinely curious to know what could have gone wrong and what the community thinks, if something could have gone wrong or was it just a wrong impression of my colleague and I seeing the announcement of poe 2.

maybe
Won't be canceled, but my guess is that GGG maybe overestimated themselves, and are drawing it out now to make sure they won't fuck up.
hoho perhaps.

GGG never said anything about a beta in 2020.

I am pretty sure that the upcoming Exilecon will have more PoE2 information.
I think this is the closest you get to hearing anything about a beta in 2020, but please do find a better source if you're able:

Here is just sounds like "Plans for 10th Anniversary next year? We'll do a news post and some cool stuff."

what could have gone wrong


Don't underestimate the disruption of covid.
We tested it extensively
It was announced and is development. It's not really POE2, but an expansion. Why cannot people grasp that?

WTF is your title with "what went wrong"...since it's not released yet nothing is wrong.

If you are in fear of it being cancelled then hit up D4 in a couple of months, then come back.

Everything I have seen about D4 is hot garbage. I will still try it, but with a open mind. If it sucks, I'll be back here. If it doesn't, I will be back here in a year or so.

I kinda think this summer/winter's Exilecon might be when they announce the beta with PoE2 release about Christmas. They seem to be laying a foundation of silence deep enough to pull a surprise. They have had two good years of testing content in the leagues; they have the cash to pay for all the resources they might need; and they have created a solid wall of discontent about the state of the game. What better time to announce beta tickets and a Christmas launch?

Remember when we expected Act 6 and got Acts 6-10?
