Ask around on Reddit then and make your own opinion , the leak circulated there for months .

So you made it up then thanks for confirming.

PS. I read the reddit nearly daily.

If you want to read it go to poe reddit, search for "tumblr leak"

tencent bought the vast majority of shares in ggg, i wanna say it was about 85% of the company 7 years ago. the game is 12 years old so the majority of poe1s life has been with tencent having the controlling share and the game has been amazing.

its meaningless. tencent are far from the worst company in gaming and china are far from the most immoral significant country in the world.

I like to think I'm tuned into things and never heard of any insider leak on reddit, this forum or any streamers even mention it.

ive seen it. some 4chan posts afaik pasted together into a picture. a guy claiming to work for ggg doing the basic bitching about the company, slagging off the bosses etc.

who knows, might be real might not, its kind of irrelevant either way.

even if the person rly does work for ggg, theres people on here who really do play poe and really do watch the video interviews with the devs and will then just turn around and straight up lie about what they devs have said and done to fit their own warped negative agenda.

ive been in enough workplaces with 100+ employees to know how bitter people can get with their employers, the us and them mindset kicks in. we can see from these forums the sort of wanton spiteful negativity that people can get trapped in.

maybe he works there and hes just one of those guys, maybe he doesnt work there at all, maybe he works there and the things he was bitching about are true.


i dont rly care either way, nothing that was said rly mattered at all. he said he haddent seen chris in a year. again, true? who cares. if i was chris id work from home.


honestly if i was chris id have left to spend my time going hiking and painting a million $ of warhammer models 7 years ago. fk working if you got 8 figures in your bank account. id want out of that office just so i could enjoy poe2 as a player without seeing any spoilers.

Stop giving your money to tencent

Have you thrown out all and any devices that were made in China yet?

They bought the remaining shares ( 13% ? ) March of last year , making GGG 100% owned by Tencent ... literally & metaphorically speaking .

as long as they have 'designed in the US' they are ethically approved

My own issues with Tencent aside, they aren't the issue here. The problem is gross mismanagement of ggg's development pipeline and resources. Also a certain someone apparently being a real prick to work with.

Sure if you want to. Tencent don't care as long as money is coming in.

Now if GGG is really doing poorly.
GGG would be brought under the direct control of the company instead of their hands-off approach.

IS that in your best interest?

I'm so glad i never wasted too much in this game, fearing this exact moment !

Chris. Wilson is a bit famous and it can be advantageous to keep him in staff list for Tencent, even if he's not actively participating.

Nope, me either. I got the account invitation to download Deuce, but I already had a pretty good idea of what it was gonna end up like, so I gave it a hard pass. Turned out I wasn't wrong. ='[.]'=
