There's No PoE1 League Because GGG Knows It Would Outperform PoE2

I recommend you stop playing Poe, both 1 and 2, in protest. And don't spend money on the game until they treat us like people.

A friend was silenced for two months for saying "budding dictators" in the chat. That's on Poe-2. That's how they encourage people to love their games... To top it off, they censor us and punish us for unimportant things, with exaggerated punishments, and then they don't answer us when we complain about it.

We need to find other games, either that or they treat us like the people we are, who don't come to play to find the same shit that exists in real life, but to relax and enjoy.

Stop playing, they understand that, they don't understand the rest.


Holy, you are entitled. Is the queen still alive?

And you only get a chat ban for two months if you had restrictions before that, more than once. Good that we don't get the full chat from his ban, so we could see a possible breach of the "Code of Conduct".

But hey, if you look for another game - I won't hold you back.

they made $30-60 millions ... on project +-7 years in development


they also make around $50 mil year running PoE1

so they gained one time cashout aproximately as large as theyr ONE year revenue of just continuing to run the business without the PoE2 ... all the while basically stopping any development and losing all the revenue from the PoE1 league releases ...




Another big factor I haven't seen mentioned yet is employee morale. Mismanagement of new projects bleeds company talent, we've seen that with many big companies over the years. If Poe2 doesn't make up the loss in revenue from new poe1 leagues, rumours start spreading through the company, possible layoffs, no Christmas bonus, staff leave, Tencent starts to take notice which adds to the uncertainty. Mismanagement turns popular studios into hollow shells of their former selves, I hope I'm wrong but that's where I see GGG heading now.

top tier delusions
There is no logic here. PoE1 has never had a player peak even half of what PoE2's was. Poe2's player count is still over 100k daily. 2 weeks ago was still over the peak of PoE1.

You have zero clue what you are talking about.... Objectively and this is a good post to ignore for that reason.
Have you tried not making PoE1 your whole identity ?

Also, I can't understand how is this any PoE2 feedback.

Yeah... "big" factor. It's not like GGG made a lot of money by selling EA keys alone - not even including all the supporter packs. You know, GGG is owned by Tencent, it's not like they would dry out in a few months.

I don't usually do this but:

Nah

(context: they would make more money with people in PoE1 buying stuff presumably)

The one time I paid any attention to their financial stuff was covid and it was give or take ~50mil in annual PROFIT

Not revenue. I could be misremembering I should probably google it but I recall being surprised that this was yearly profit.

Also while certainly not the case any more they had a worse case of "treading water" with 10k customers which they've discussed publicly on multiple occasions. This was with less employees. But they also have stated being able to make some of the most successful recent POE1 leagues with "about 7 people" so... "FWIW"
Pandering to players who don't want consequences for their mistakes is a perfect description of what went fundamentally wrong with D3 and 4.
If they wanted mindless mobile game time waster gameplay they sure did make some perplexing choices and marketing statements for 6 fucking years.
This post is comedy gold

Thanks.
Even if it did outperform PoE 2, PoE 2 clowns would still claim otherwise based on the Steam numbers, which includes China on PoE 2 but doesn't on PoE 1
