We should've been less harsh on Chris

Yes, he also doesn't like the current state of PoE 1 and his vision is more like Jonathan's, but under his management, we still did have a league every 3 months, communication from GGG and a willingness to change things according to the community.

In my opinion, he left because there's been too much uproar about all the league nerfs and the infamous Archnemesis system and it got to the point that people were calling for Chris' resignation.

So he just said "screw it, I'm not working on a game just to be yelled at", left, and gave leadership to Jonathan.

Under his leadership, not a single full league for PoE 1 has released and we are still yet to see a statement or fix for the recent server issues.

You're right, Chris has his "visions" too. But he liked and respected PoE1 for what it is (was..). He didn't go around mocking it every chance he got. He knew perfectly well that PoE1 made GGG what they are today, and that PoE1 is a success-story unlike others, as it has steadily grown in popularity for more than a decade.

There's something in me screaming "if Chris left on good terms, we would hear about it, read about it, anything...", but all we have gotten, is silence and questions.

He made nice money and wanted to do something else.
It doesn't have to be more complicated than that.

Should we? we made images as literal jesus.

Does that mean we don't call him out when he straight up lies and gaslights us while ruining poe 1?

chris made changes to poe 1 that are still ruining it to this day. if they didn't fuck up in 3.14 and beyond poe 1 could have 1 mill players on each league.

but no. they buffed monsters, map mods, nerfed player defenses early added archnem and f'd with drops so many times while bloating the f out of the game by keeping trash leagues and adding 100000 uniques every league locked behind uber and t17 content no one asked for.

we need a hard reset to 3.13

In what way is "the vision" + communication from GGG and a willingness to change according to feedback worse than just "the vision"?

Jonathan is doing the exact same things Chris did but with a lot more stubbornness and with a lot more narcissistic thoughts of "all these players are wrong and my vision is the only thing that's good for PoE".

You make your lives too complicated with your theories and complaints about what Poe was and should be. If you're not having fun with the current game, just drop it and move on. Things don't last forever, and of course, there will always be changes you don't like. So, at that point, it's time to accept that you're not having fun with this product, and this happens with every game that includes this type of content from time to time.

But I do like the game - I have fun with it. It's just that GGG refuses to acknowledge the server issues that prevent me from fully enjoying it.

Who is this "we" you're talking about? You don't speak for me. Also, on a side note, this communities obsession with Christopher Wilson is bizarre to say the least. Yes, the man did great things for both the game and his company. Ultimately he cashed out and is probably living his best life.

Leave the poor man be already.
