The MTX situation is going to kill it for me :(

Yea, since PoE2 will be way more popular than PoE this might create another storm for playstation that they need to fix, not sure why they wouldn't get ahead of it and fix it before release

Whoever is in charge of Sony Playstation are greedy individuals with too much money and too little common sense as well as appreciation of their customers. I hope they die early from painful complications.

Whoever inherits their role, hopefully, has more common sense than a rotting potato on a barren, salted field.

I would be surprised though.

I know Sony has always been more restrictive on cross progression but the current implementation for POE2 actually doesn't make sense. I understand you usually have to buy the game/expansion/access separately and the in game store currency can't be shared between platform. But the cosmetic you bought should work just fine. I believe all the other games with season pass or cosmetics work in this way.

For example in Diablo 4, I can access the deluxe version cosmetics and mounts that are bought on pc, on playstation, but I can't use my spiritborn character since I didn't buy the expansion on playstation, which is expected. I think in COD or other FPS games the skins are also shared. In some game like Warframe you can even completely overwrite your save when connecting your account.

I don't know what's going on between GGG and Sony but it seems the implementation from GGG is not what it's supposed to be either. Maybe Sony still asks for shares on these kind of cosmetics from other platform and GGG can't afford/ isn't willing to pay the cost like these bigger companies?
