Holy, there are a lot of people that spent too much time with Navali.
Prophecies of GGG's apocalyptic downfall are popping out like mushrooms on this site.

The first thing I was think after I´ve read this news was: Great, Now they have the finacial base the develop the content update of their dreams, get more staff, expand the game in a way they havent benn able to yet.
Maybe we get a storrytelling/Cinematic update, a short movie ect...
The possibilities have greatly enhanced with such a huge investor imo.

Good luck GGG, i´m expecting nothing less but your best work do be done in the future.

And don´t forget, with great fiancial power, comes great responsibility!

Dude are you for real? IT's AN 11 year old engine... do you have any idea how ENGINES are developed and implemented, you cant just replace it with a better one, you need to build an entirely new one from the ground up, including the systems around it, that costs "new game money". GGG are not a software company that develops game engines, it's a company that develop's games using a proprietary engine. You want newer shiny engine? 80$ a month wont cut it, it costs at least 100K$ per month. GGG spends at least 0.5 mil just for salaries you moron.

NO NEED TO DEVELOP NEW ENGINE OMG... Moron.. GGG shows what they can't do - technical side, shit game engine, no real support center. For that 11 years what ppls enjoy crash windows they can(if they care) buy normal engine and make that game realy great. No one wants "shiny" new engine, we see that shiny shit like d3, like Mu Legend, like Lineage Eternal. That dark wierd looking game interest ppl not for graphics, it's a close to Diablo 2 atmosphere. It's fear and pain on the next screen. it's a challenge to survive. Who fked wants that shitty timer portals?

GGG stupid bitch erasy my post in feedbacks and suggestion and DONT GIVE FCKED ANSWER. so what u need to understand i respect thier job what they done by making gameplay of that game, that what they are not to try make more "popular" shit from the good game. But i absolutly disrespect how they communicate with his clients, i absolutly disrespect selling game rights and writings "we still rule and doesn't matter what we sold 80% company". It's stupid lie. If u defend them in that way fck u too.

BTW, after this Announcement i think GGG need to turn off supporters packs, right? They don't need our support anymore! They got TONS of $$$, so why we still need to give them our money? To make they MORE rich? They floating in money and the will keep floating in them for next 100 years.

So yeah, please TURN OFF SUPPORTERS PACKS or RENAME it to DLC or VIP Access.

Supporter packs are still supporting GGG you idiot. Regardless of who owns what share of the company. Do you even know how the real world work? Big corporations invest a great amount of money that banks cant afford to take the risk on. They pay the money upfront, which means that GGG will be able to develop what they need for the next several years, regardless of the amount of supporter packs sold.

If you want a good polished product you need a lot of money, you can depend on random milenials with attention span of 6 seconds to buy supporter packs every now and again.

You all wanted free to play model with no pay to win and without subscription. Well you got exactly what you want you entitled pricks

I'm Chinese. I would say Tencent is a shit company when it comes to games, but that's mainly for Chinese players in China. Tencent is just nice to their overseas holdings. Just check Riot and LoL, objectively.
What Tencent really cares(in China) is that the investment makes it much easier to implement features that suits Chinese game environment in China server, a lot of which may be pay-to-win things I assume, as that's just how it works since online games appear in China. Something Chris said has indicated that vaguely. But for GGG it's just really simple: I give you money and resources, you make the game much better than now. You can do it, then we are fine.
I'm 70% sure Tencent won't interfere how GGG and the community outside China works. To mess up the game culture over years is suicide, which is the worst Tencent want to see.
As for the supporter pack things or so...GGG is not an "interest club" since far ago. Just treat them as product.

Right, didn't change a thing, but how many skills that require actual targeting were added to the game since the xbox announcement?
