Chain reaction leading to "forced poe complete switch to console" has already started.

A lot pf supporters felt betrayed by lack of transparency from GGG side. If they in 2014 said they started working on console port, a lot of people would back of but many would give GGG a chance.

Now after they HID such a huge info which would give a lot to think about to either support the game or not -> poe has no other option than to keep dwelling into console pile of shit.

Why ?

Because people feel betrayed and wont support anymore. At least not me and many people i met ingame are doing the same.
With less and less cash comming from supporters GiGiGi will be searching all the sources available to keep the game and jobs alive. And this one is pretty dangerous gray zone. Many companies like EA or Ubisoft went this way. They still make a bank but are pretty much HATED in the industry of gaming bygamers.


Hate and love are two sides of same coin. You just need ro pick now by who you want to be loved and by who hated?

Pure elitism and entitlement. Have it your way anyway, it's your right, same as ggg has right to develop in any way they deem worth trying.

to mention that you think about something is a very other to do it without ever speak about it again.

except they did speak about it again (last week) once it was certain to happen.
come on, they worked on it at least for a year. do people something like that in the case they dont know what to do with the results? i help you: they know for sure that they do it a least for the time they hired people extra for it.

edit: sometimes it helps to use other peoples words: its certain to happen since they hired a extra team, not since last week. i promised you too much for your next try, my fail, sry.

so?
If they had said they are working on it and it hadn't worked out, many players would have been disappointed (because they said they will do it and now they can't). This way, telling after it is certain, is much wiser.

you mean they hired a bunch of people in the vague hope those could do it or maybe not?
"don't worry GGG, it's ok!"
The problem here is the pc version got up and running financially with support money from the pc players.

The xbox version got up and running financially with support money unknowingly, from the pc players.

How many rpg console games are free to play? I have no idea of the answer somebody else may do.

My guess is none, and if that is that case I would assume its because the model dosnt work.

The only reason it may work in this scenario is because they got finance for it under false pretences and it wasn't from the target audience of the game.

Whether or not it turns out to be a success and even a benefit for pc poe in the long run is neither here nor there.

"Consider" and "started development" are like 2 fuken miles away from each other.
