All part of growth, POE1 should absolutely take the backburner for awhile. Its in a stable place and a new expansion won't change the fact that POE2 is the future of the company. I find it commendable enough that you guys are planning on still supporting the original, let alone trying to carve out time for expansions.

PoE1 got more players league after league... "PoE2 is the future"...
Settlers league was widely received as a stellar addition to the game with record concurrent players and player retention.

You know. They couldve just kept riding the wave for PoE1 instead of spitting in the face of their long time supporters :)

So much crying for what? 13 years old game? Why? Poe 2 hit more than milion of players even in EA and retention is way higher than Poe 1... Why would they waste time on old game when the new one getting alot better numbers. It would hurt both games at the same time. I played Poe 1 since beta spend over 5k$ and I would have no problem with its end...
Poe 1 is stupidly easy, the new challenge in poe 2 i very welcome change.

When will you people learn that GGG owes you nothing?
You paid, got your shit, and played the game.
You get one of the best deals in gaming industry.

Why do you even mention player numbers? PoE 2 destroys PoE 1 in that regard. The maximum number of concurrent players for PoE 1 on all platforms is lower than that for PoE 2 on Steam alone. Player retention is also much better than the best retention in PoE 1.

I like PoE1 more. I supported PoE1 for over a decade. I am entitled to voice my anger about the blatant and repeated lies that we were told.

Most PoE1 fans dont mind the addition of PoE2. It plays different, and whoever wants to play it, thats fine.
But most PoE2 fans spit vitriol towards the "old" playerbase and wishes PoE1 to be killed.

Funny how that works.

Lmao you are not entitled to voice anything. You clearly misunderstood when they say "thank you for your support" as it's not a donation or anything. You are buying stuff, not giving them money. It's like D1 players would cry because D3 exist. You can still play it. You can still have fun with it. Go play hardcore or ssf. Its a new challenge. But its just evolution that there is better game now and you are not entitled to do anything about it.

Free speech exists. Thank you very much.

Yeah, lets see how much money the new players will spend on PoE2.
Player numbers alone are not everything. Trust and loyality towards and from your playerbase is important.
