Bye Bye GGG

Good-bye GGG. I’m outa here for now. That video just sounded like corporate speak for, “we are trying to quietly kill development of this game(PoE1) and move on to the sequel so would you all please shut up about it”
When you announce that PoE2 would be a separate game, you promised that you would keep up development of PoE1 side by side. You have failed to keep this promise. Its entirely possible that you’re actually telling the truth and 3.26 will just be delayed. But in keeping with how development usually works, most of us assume that once 0.2 is done then 0.3 will have issue that delay 3.26 again, repeated for 0.4, 0.5 and even going to 1.0, 1.1, etc. In other words PoE1 is development is dead.
So I’m gone. Not forever that would be stupid. But I won’t be back in 0.2, nor if 3.26 ever comes out. I’ll be back when you either prove that you can keep your word of dual development of 1 and 2 or when you finally come out and say that PoE1 is dead forever and you quit stringing along its player base with lies.
Is this a boycott? Well technically yeah. But just me. I know it doesn’t matter to you. You’ve got my money, lots and lots of it, and your player count being just one person lower that I could be is less than nothing to you. But I’m petty like that.
GGG you’re not in danger (yet) of turning into Blizzard, but you are in danger of turning into Peter Molyneux, and that isn’t a compliment.

A senior guy just gave a detailed update, and I thought it was very transparent. I can tell there's a lot of frustration on their end. They communicated clearly with the fan base and delivered their message well.

People might not like the message, but GGG has been clear—nobody is in the dark.

They have a recently released game with problems but immense potential. PoE1 is fantastic, and I’m a fan, but it's not the company's future. It’s now an old game, almost vintage. Investing in it at the risk of PoE2 doesn't make sense.

GGG has done a great job communicating and managing expectations. I'll continue to rant about the things I don’t like in the game, but I have to give credit when GGG comes through.

To be honest, I didn't like that he referred to PoE2 as "This damn game." It felt unprofessional. If I were in sales, I would have given him a gentle reprimand for that. 😊 You can tell they are stressing.


GGG Chill, do it right .. don't be reactionary.
