We hit a peak of almost 70,000 people playing Path of Exile at the same time. We expect to beat this record as we localise the game to more countries next year!

Not gonna happen.
PoE Endgame is imo horrible and Games I consider having a horrible endgame lose 40% of the players every month.
Just look at Steamcharts.
And do you think players are stupid?
As long you the game is MMOesque with massive timeinvestment needed and Grindbased it will always fail.
I will never play PoE Endgamecontent anymore unless I can undo several horrible changes and remove poor mechanics.
You should understand why other games not requiring much timeinvestment have far more players.

And Asian ARGs/MMOs are "flashy". You can't see whats going on due to several explosions etc.
Even D3 doesn't match Asian standards.
And PoE combat looks ancient compared to them.

Path of Exile won numerous awards including GameSpot's 2013 PC Game of the Year.

We all know money went to Gamespot. Gamespot lost all of its low credibility after Kane&Lynch.
