Awesome interview, and it highlighted the problem.

Jonathan.

Jonathan should just get benched with Chris. let them handle the business aspects, and let Mark take over lead of the design of the game. Just like Chris, Jonathan suffers from a severe case of tunnel vision. If something works for him, he can't wrap his head around the fact that most people don't also like that same thing. It's beyond his comprehension.

To save the franchise, and the growth and success of both games, you need people with a broader scope of mind to lead the design.

Mark was literally sitting there telling Jonathan to just shut up and stop talking, but Jonathan just kept digging deeper and deeper. Clinging to the same failed vision as if it was the only option.

I don't think his "Vision" (God, I hate to use that word now) is failed at all.
Ofc the patch was a bit scuffed, especially in the early game, but the general concept works very good. As it did in 0.1.

And there are a LOT of people really liking the way they want to design the game. Me included.

Just because a few salty PoE 1 veterans are really loud on social media does not mean that no one is liking the core design of the game.

Just go to the Steam game page. And the steam is mostly new to the game, not veterans.

Maybe you like this kind of thing, and there are dozens of masochists in the world, but the facts and reviews say otherwise. About 10,000 people leave the game every day. And this is only in the Steam

For example, take the release schedule, where 12% of people stopped playing the game in a week. And the last week, during which 20% of people left the game. And not just those interested in the new release left, but those who already knew about the game and played it while waiting for the new patch. People were disappointed with the patch, and the very negative reviews about the game over the past week speak directly about this.

He is a tunnel visioned player and he does not speak for everyone

I'm finding the campaign much easier than 0.1, not faster, but easier. I've not had to do any trade (act 5 so far) whereas I did in 0.1. Some of that comes from familiarity but it also comes from higher number of rares dropping and the QoL improvements that were already in place by the end of 0.1 and introduced at the start of 0.2

Didn't feel that way at all during the Interview.

You should watch it again then. Jon kept saying no, I don't like that to feedback while Mark said that they will look into it and provide another solution.

A good leader will listen to feedback and even if he doesn't like it, he will never say it straight and will try to compromise and provide different solution to please both.

You can't please both sometimes and have to choose. For example during the interview zizaran said that a mob should never be faster than the player and have the ability to swarm him. I disagree (Jon did too btw). Encounters like that make the game engaging and keep you on your toes.
