Start PoE 2 and shut down PoE 1 please, LET'S GO!

Yes, risking alienating the players who still like POE and aren't that enthused for POE 2 would be a great business move. Potentially loosing sources of revenue and the goodwill of long-time players sounds like a great idea.

Since PoE has a standalone, Steam, and Epic versions (at the very least) for PC, why would you ask if Steam will be mandatory?

It's a grinding game guys,why are alot of you complaining so much?
Do you honestly think that mindlessly grinding packs of 100 mobs on the screen map after map is more fun than grinding bosses?

Bashing your head against every map boss though?? That sounds so tedious and frustrating, hard bosses should be optional (just skipping them is a garbage alternative).

So many PoE players (most?) play for maps not the bosses, and the game is built around maps, imagine getting stalled for minutes at the end of each one. And some people (me) don't like all that thinking and tryharding in the middle of our "action" game.

Making a sequel and changing the target audience is such a bait, especially since originally it was gonna be an epic expansion for PoE1 (that we no longer get, big oof for those that won't like PoE2).

Also souls-likes are so generic now, don't kill that PoE uniqueness!
