Unless they completely abandon the vision the game will not survive to see full release.

As much as i am unhappy with the patch you are delusional if you think 50k is a low number. Yes, the drop is big and that is normal for a bad patch. And that is what it is - a bad patch. People will come back as soon as some things are fixed but you probably won't make a post about how its gone from 50k to 200k.

I feel like players mention the vision far more then Jonathan ever did. If he mentioned it at all.

Your post looks very immature.

PoE 2 was so badly received that they dropped from 580k to 20k...
0.2 bumped that to 250, less than half of their peak, and then immediately crashed to 60k.

Not only did they fail to deliver what the players want, but they doubled down on all the things people spoke out against whilst also gutting the parts people were enjoying!!

The thing I don't get about this absolutely obvious nonsense is that the people you actually want to respond (GGG) know full well that they have more than enough $ to finish the project at this point. So who are you trying to intimidate exactly? Other players? To what end?

Could you please point me out where was the drop to 20k exactly? Do you think that it is unrealistic for the game to be at their peak playercount at all times? Did you just use those numbers to confirm the point you already decided to believe?

i dont know why people are trying to defend the present state of the game. there are many things that are very wrong. yes yes i know it's EA, but it wasn't this bad in 0.1.

it's an objective fact that this game is worse than it was before for multitudes of reasons.

its evident for a few reasons. i felt it since the first day. many of my friends couldn't last 2 days before leaving to do something else. streamers left. the economy certainly feels like leagues over.

Other people like me dont want to just defend the game. We know the bad parts of it. Hell, i played 1k hours, i know more then most people here. I just can't handle the crying with an attitude of a child. OP and some commenters act like GGG HAS TO do something they want and do it right now. They claim that the game is dead which is so funny.

Monkey sees graph at 500k - peak
Monkey sees graph at 60k - bad

Ignoring your attitude, let's see what data another Mon-keigh has to offer.

PoE2 patch 0.1
Day 01 - 460k
Day 07 - 447k
That's 98% still playing after one week.

Day 01 - 460k
Day 14 - 385k
That's 84% still playing after two weeks.

Day 01 - 460k
Day 21 - 350k
That's 76% still playing after three weeks.

PoE2 patch 0.2
Day 01 - 238k
Day 07 - 185k
That's 78% still playing after one week.

Day 01 - 238k
Day 14 - 122k
That's 51% still playing after two weeks.

Day 01 - 238k
Day 21 - 78k
That's 32% still playing after three weeks.

Patch 0.2 lost in 1 week the same percentage of players as 0.1 in 3 weeks (+/- 2%).

PoE2 0.1 580k peak compared to PoE2 0.2 246k peak, that's only 42% returning from one patch to another.

Now, keep in mind. One of the goals with PoE2 was to retain more players with "More accessibility". And while a player drop is totally normal for games like this, especially PoE, such a downward trend is not:
