When a game is independent which is more fun because you can play without any worrisome that some third party can do some thing BAD to your information. However, when a game is involved in some kind of POLITICAL fu cking strategy= messy game. Say no to make sure your safety.	Posted by Black12345 on May 21, 2018, 8:58:35 PM Quote this Post

" eViral wrote: Great news for GGG, not so great for the players. I honestly don't think Tencent will make any changes to the game, they (afaik) haven't done so in their previous acquisitions. But like many have said already, that feeling of support and love for GGG as a company is gone. Purchases now feel incredibly unlikely in the future and the overall perspective of the game has flipped. GGG sold out (we all would of done the same thing if we were offered $$$$$$$) and a part of the GGG fanboi in me just died. RIP PoE 2018 This is basically what it boils down to. GGG was unique. We loved that about it and the game. Now its not. It would be silly not to recognize that GGG is no longer an independent studio, but now part of a huge, multi-national, multi-billion yen/dollar organization. That simply changes how one thinks about PoE. On the other hand, one can only hope that the deal GGG made with Tencent was a good one. They certainly deserve the rewards for the success they have shepherded through the years. In a lot of ways, they made gaming history. Let's hope they can continue as they began.

This is a well thought out and reasonable response, kudos.	Posted by Reichugo232323 on May 21, 2018, 9:05:03 PM Quote this Post
" robmafia wrote: be china. treat people terribly. accuse those who criticize the above of racism/xenophobia. It's one thing if someone criticizes the Chinese Government. Heck, I've got Chinese friends that live in America that criticize the government. That's way different than all of the racism crap I read on here.....

I don't care either way. I quit investing in GGG when they introduced the garbage Lab in to the game. This acquisition is just another reason not to support them. The Lab, making a great game good since 2016.	Posted by Bowman8763 on May 21, 2018, 9:07:49 PM Quote this Post

And for all of those who are saying "you are quitting poe" Put your money where your mouth is and offer people to message you on a first come first serve basis so that you can give all of your in game currency to them....Because if you don't do that, then you are just bullshitting with your "I'm quitting" comments, which I think 90% of the people who say "I'm quitting" are......You are quitting? then prove it!

I know China has lots of problems and there are many sick people who mistreat/kill innocent animals/pets there....But some poeple seem to think that applies to "ALL" Chinese people" and that's simply not the case. I mostly read this on in-game chat, because people know it's harder to monitor and most people don't report it....	Posted by Mentoya on May 21, 2018, 9:14:58 PM Quote this Post
