Zizaran: “Worst patch ever” — then promotes Last Epoch race days later

Ziz publicly slammed 0.2.0, calling it “the worst patch ever.” Then just days later, he announces he’s sponsoring a major cash race for Last Epoch.

Here’s the video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gMhgjZGaT8s

The timing feels coordinated: stir discontent in one game, then pivot to a monetized event in its direct competitor. Welcome to the new meta: outrage, then monetize.

That is because 2 things can happen without other motivations.

This is the worst patch and Ziz had an event ready to go which he also does for poe 1.

GGG is doing a good enough job destroying this game on their own, you dont need to look to tin-foil hat theories for other people doing it.

yea i alsot hink ggg is doing just fine ruining their own game. no issues anyone commenting on that

Crazy! Almost like he didn't like the patch and had other things going on to occupy his time. Wild I know, how can a person have multiple options on the table?

Never thought i this would be possible with class-lock ARPGs, but LE has way, way better build diversity than PoE2. And build diversity and theorycrafting was what made PoE stand out.

Its SO simple.

If the BIGGEST fan like ZIZ did this, then you know, GGG F* this up.

This imagined timing by the OP is very far from the truth. The possibility of a race event was one of Zizaran's questions on the first Last Epoch Season 2 Dev interview. Judd Cobler's immediate response was an enthusiastic yes lets put something together.

or maybe if you think about it for more then one second that ziz got a offer from last epoch MONTHS ago that on the release of their new patch they do a race and then last epoch delayed their release and thats why they are advertising it now? they are not doing a advertisment like that in one week.. all the stuff behind it with the pay and other things had to be settled and that was happening before we got that lootless 0.2.0 and all the hate to the patch
