PoE1 Abandoned, not gonna play poe2 anymore
It's frustrating to see resources and attention poured into PoE2, a game that's not even really out yet, while PoE1, the game that's given us so many hours of fun and excitement, gets left behind. I understand that companies have to look after their future, but at whose expense? The players who've been there from the start, supporting the game and its developers? I don't know about you guys, but I feel disappointed and a little betrayed.

It's just not acceptable, it's sad how GGG doesn't care about their fans and supporters who have been supporting them for years.

I've always been on GGG's side... at some point it won't work anymore.

I am pizzed right now that i bought PoE2 support pack even when i prefer PoE. I just hope GGG get smacked by karma.

I was supporting GGG since begining, and i truly believed that they will keep PoE alive as they said.. fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice... lets say that good will gained over the years was just flushed down the drain. Thanks Jonathan.

I feel like they watched a different video then what we watched because they never said they are abandoning poe1. To me it was a mix of not wanting to push poe2 back more so it caused a time crunch then shipped. Then having to turn around and start putting out fires.

I dont get this outrage people have tbh. The company is still great imo. They even stated when 0.2.0 gets released that they will be able to start work on poe1 again. so imo its not being abandoned.

This right here, is a great example of the perfect customer. Someone who blindly believes whatever gets dished out, never asks questions, and is apparently incapable of reading between the lines. Corporations love people like this.

Grow up, move on, they owe you nothing. Said in another post about how the fanbase for this game is showing their true colours.

12 years later, and the fanbase still feels they are owed something. Get real, no company will do "updates for life". Its just not realistic.

Nope, you just sound like an entitled brat with this reply.
My belief is that there was a guy, bald and happy, and he was an inspired player become inspired developer, and it was he who cared about genuine player experience and the idea of perfect ARPG and his own vision. He was a driver that pulled the whole company in one direction and that resulted in years of joy of grateful players who sponsored the game by buying supporter packs.

And now, for one or another reason, he's gone. Maybe he had burned out, maybe he didn't feel strong enough to pull that monstrous beast which poe1 became on his shoulders anymore or maybe he was kicked out by some corporate intrigues, who knows. And the game fell into the hands of soulless corporate money craving business macabres.

And they put two dorks as game directors of poe1 and poe2, named Jonathan and Mark, who are probably also genuine developers and gamers, but clearly they wasn't gifted a tenth of the bald guy's talent and vision. Some of you may think that poe2 is clearly a success, in terms of money especially, and yeah, you are absolutely right, but that concord of inspired players and inspired developers seems to be gone for good, this little miracle that warmed our hearts in this cold greedy and dark world is dying right now, before our very eyes...

And so the dark times has come...
