Few months before PoE 2 release there was a GGG insider who leaked that Chris never did came back into office since he sold his shares to Tencent and went into details how PoE 2 was badly managed by Jonathan who spent the last years focusing all resources on PoE 1 seasons & that he did spend the last months changing the design philosophy of PoE 2 / delaying release due to MTXs , and others important details .
Anyway all of that has been confirmed to be true since PoE 2 release and is exactly in line with these recent developments ( that Jonathan lied about 3.26 being cooked & him being incapable of managing two projects simultaneously ) . So yeah GGG is no different than the rest of the studios out-here and they need to get their shit together big time .
This person is making up a narrative. Just so you know. Its only a LITTLE less real than pics of Chris's boat posted above.
Just look for some leaks about poe2 on google, it'll not so difficult to find what @Ashyev is talking about.
Cheers

this doesn't even add up with its own narrative. if all resources went into poe1 seasons and poe2 philosophy being changed last minute due to mis-management why did they switch 180 now and placed poe1 seasons on ice?

Where it doesn't add up ? For years they focused all efforts on milking PoE 1 seasons because that was the only way they could meet the MTX objectives ordered by Tencent . PoE 2 did bring no money on the table for years . And GGG did reversed that focus back on PoE 2 recently because that was the only way to launch the product on time ( GGG even had to delay due to MTX not being ready yet ) . Now PoE 2 did make great sales , good for them , but the game is still in a meh state on several aspects so they are trying to keep player retention on it to milk EA as much as possible . That's all there is to it .
Once you remove from the equation BS copium such as " GGG isn't after our wallets they care about quality & the players" , everything they did and what was leaked so far makes perfect sense .

As of March 25, the game and company GGG is 100% owned by SIXJOY HONG KONG LIMITED, a subsidiary of Tencent.
Former owners Christopher W., Jonathan R., and Erik O. have sold all their shares to SIXJOY. They no longer hold any ownership stakes but remain listed as directors—positions that SIXJOY can revoke at any time.
You can verify this information through the official New Zealand Companies Office:
[Official Company Records](https://app.companiesoffice.govt.nz/companies/app/ui/pages/companies/1887410/documents)
Additionally, there are unconfirmed rumors suggesting that Christopher W. hasn’t been present in the office for an extended period.
Make of this what you will.
Ok i understand better why we have this PoE2...
PoE1 spirit is dead now, RIP...
Chris is one of the persons behind PoE 1's Ruthless mode. He is probably busy playing PoE 2 as it is very likely more in line what he wanted PoE to be in the first place. /thread
How certain are you of this? By then Tencent had 30%. They had 30% of a private company. I'm not sure what the legal concerns or power structures work, but I'm certain they could exert power in some way. I've watched dozens of directors I've worked for tell me how they feel in private, then go out and tow the line when giving PR speaches or making public statements.

nothing adds up here, and you even state more and more things that make absolutely no sense. if all resources were used on poe1 leagues, how the fuck did they create all these assets for poe2? now you switching to MTX being the reason and not straight up mis-managment? duno if you seeing how you are dodging here, but maybe you are the one deluded by some chan troll. there is truth in those claims but they are nowhere near as nefarious as you make them to be, which is how its always done. just pull back and re-evaluate this instead of parroting it

[Edit] the post I'm replying to that tried to imply something about Starcitizen was apearently deleted or maybe they reread it and and discorved how it sounded as I allude to in my last sentence.
Any reasonable person can tell that wild non-sequiturs about a different game don't prove the things you're making up are true about this game.
This is deflection and false equivalence. Trying to establish a pattern by using an unrelated pattern. What a wild grasping at straws. You're doing a better job calibrating peoples detectors than I am.
Again Chris is publicly listed as the current Managing director of GGG, but hey some random poster on a forum says it aint so, when cornered and asked to cite a source: he'll link a person saying "prove me wrong" who's obviously making shit up, as proof, and he "saves these posts on his hard drive" in case "the truth" (stories) are wiped from the internet by the videogame shadow police or something? Oh and Starcitizen is also proof that he's right and the people who want proof are wrong and just not in on the sekret knowledge.
When you read that how do you think it sounds?
Pandering to players who don't want consequences for their mistakes is a perfect description of what went fundamentally wrong with D3 and 4.
If they wanted mindless mobile game time waster gameplay they sure did make some perplexing choices and marketing statements for 6 fucking years. Last edited by alhazred70#2994 on Feb 5, 2025, 8:44:18 PM
