Ask the community what it thinks about making poe1 community developed.

Look poe2 needs more work than you guys have time or workers for obviously, so why not pitch the idea of independent people working on the game for you?

- your community is literally a bunch of number crunching nerds anyways
- games that havn't received any updates from developers lived long lives just because of people modding them and ect. from the community.
- your only sacrificing a bit of management time rather than entire developers which is a big plus for poe2.

This would be the basic idea though,

Have community people put in suggestions, ontop of any ideas GGG might have to create ideas for new content or popular ideas patched. Technically you'd never have to pay anyone for ideas when you can just dig around suggestions for bits and pieces to put together.

The suggestions, and content for leagues or whatever can then be put on a priority list by GGG for community developers to work on.

Sure there's alot of reasons why it wouldn't work but it is a possible way to save poe1 and poe2 without magically pulling an entire team of developers out of your ass.

It can't hurt to atleast see what people think of the idea is what i'm saying and there's tons of people who could come up with ideas to make it more viable.
