The real truth

*raises hand*

Whats exactly the point in killing the chicken that is hatching the eggs?

The dude hates poe1, fine
The dude wants everyone to go for poe2, okay
Dude wants to kill his own company for profit, huh?

Where is the money he get from it? How exactly killing the company nets him money?

Is he planning for a "catch and kill"? Someone tell him that that is not how it works if he is
Did he read the cover of "making money is killing your business" and decided to give it a try? Someone tells him the title is not literal

Its not his company, gets money from short term bonuses that leaders have in 'big' companies. Dude is just gambling at cost of poe1 playerbase and we know he dont give a fuck about poe1 players. Shit for GGG but not for him as a person other than his image is fucked up. Chris atleast had some dignity and just left before without drama :D

lol thread is using chan as a 'source' this is gold. best shitpost to date, hands down

It's not a shitpost. It's called common sense.

If you don't think Jonathan and maybe a small number of senior devs are being given cash bonuses based on POE2 numbers, then you either lack common sense or you are straight up lying to yourself.

Gets bonus how exactly? Hes a shareholder? Someone who aquired GGG recently? Just a very influential guy in the company? A tencet headfigure?

None of these people would benefit from GGG falling, they would lose money because the shares they have are now worthless. Even if hes someone who have a large portion of GGG stocks and plans to resell before the company crashes, he would at best break even

Cash bonuses? What kind of unholy bonus they are pocketing for it to be worth breaking the company where he works? Who is paying that bonus? Why the fu someone would fork money just to make the priority of the company shift??? Must be a diehard fanboy of a game thay is not even out because that would be a spetacularly dumb risk to take. Does poe really have haters that are willing to pay to have the game replaced? Because replacing the game is the only reason for the idea someone is paying the staff to shift to poe2 makes sense. Form a financial point of view it plain dont make sense no matter how greedy or short sighted the individual is

People are talking about "short ferm money" what is this "money" exactly? Catch and kill is indeed a thing, but at this point GGG is too old and the value of the company is far too stable for it to be a viable target. Even if you do expect a boom in value from poe2, the value a gaming company gets on a title is not big enough to justify the risk, and most definetly not from a game that is not even truly out and is just launch of early access

Look at em go! Trying so hard to defend a company development philosophy that has already been dead for years. The POE community loves to hate activision-blizzard and what they became since 2008. How do you feel about your beloved company turning into some Chinese version of that or worse?

Delusional take: POE1 will continue to get regular leagues eventually, POE2 will get its issues fixed and also become a good game.

Realistic take: POE1 is dead as you know it, POE2 is also "dead" as far as MTX and supporter pack development trumping everything else to string along a short term cash cow as long as possible.

The entire streaming community is on the delusional side since they have a financial stake.

agreed 100% and i wouldnt be surprised if they add the more traditional game pass like every single other game, why? because people keep buying them and thus letting them know that's the way to make easy money.

+100 to this...I don't have enough popcorn.

they did give "bandaid temp events"

Necro settler 2.0 that splitted the POE 1 player base even more.

The issue was it had no new challenges, and really no new content to interact with (besides the fact that was months ago). It basically gave you more loot, which is cool and all but not enough incentive to do settlers over again.

Now, let's take Necro settlers as a starting point. Let's go along with the idea that GGG can't afford to hire people for some weird reason and they can't really devote resources. Alright, just turn on Scourge for example. Now you have an interesting mechanic to toy with late game that can enable new builds, so at least something different to interact with.

Then you do the most important part, you do new challenges and rewards. In previous one month leagues they just did palette shifted armour MTX sets. Quick and easy.

Now is that a real fix? No, but it would show they cared somewhat and beat the heck out of joining and event just to get a fresh reset. At least you'd have new engage goals (scourge a bad ass enchanted item) and new challenges.

GGG won't do that though because they don't want people playing POE 1...

Imagine being a dev there. For sure it must be fucking nightmare to work right now. Sure they non leaders at GGG would love that people plays both games but no :)

We should just start calling GGG as tencent since its a disgrace to call company GGG anymore
