General Discussion - Why GGG didnt delay the PoE 2 season by atleast 2 weeks? - Forum

" Why GGG didnt delay the PoE 2 season by atleast 2 weeks? These release dates are planned many weeks or months ahead of time, even before they started creating the content they plan to release. It's not easy for any devs to change their release date. Both devs knew the risk of overlapping releases with the rise of ARPGs. This is specially complicated with periodical release of a live service game. Nothing malicious about it either.	Posted by ChyrosNX#0815 on Mar 16, 2025, 9:49:54 PM Quote this Post

They're pushing out .2 as soon as it's ready, and that's what they should do, cry me a river if another game has an update close to it as well. If your stance is that LE can't succeed because PoE2 has an update close to their update, then LE isn't a good enough game. Just look at the steam numbers, there's been extremely little interest in LE for a long time. They had a feb 24 ATH of course, then a litttttttle bump compared to that after, then nothing. It wasn't fun enough to stick. And lastly, you guys are being fooled. All the streamers that are mad about the dates are feigning that they feel bad for LE. They don't. They're upset because this means they can't maximize profit between the two games and they have to choose one instead. If YOU like LE, then play it instead, simple as that. you are literally wrong about everything and seems dont know GGG well enough Dang that was uhh... a crazy takedown. Nice points you made, articulated them well I'll say lmao	Posted by Bleu42#4018 on Mar 16, 2025, 10:45:15 PM Quote this Post
I don't know if they did it maliciously or not but it was a shitty thing to do. Not like the old GGG at all. I was an early supporter of LE and the game has its problems but I don't want anyone to knock it out of business for any reason, whether malicious or otherwise. Competition is good for the genre. It really doesn't matter if you like or play LE or not. Meanwhile, POE1 is abandonware pretty much. PoE 2 has some massive shoes to fill and so far it's not even close. Censored.

You are choosing last epoch. Most will still remain here. Because last epoch sux. The only competition that is left for POE 2 is d3. Last edited by SphinxyII#6427 on Mar 23, 2025, 4:24:11 PM	Posted by SphinxyII#6427 on Mar 23, 2025, 4:22:13 PM Quote this Post
