just sayin - but a f2p game's business IS the relationship with the players.
the players generally feel betrayed/think that ggg sold out. it's rather ludicrous to blame the players for stating such. [Removed by Support]

Don't be mad at me, but right now, I don't feel like supporting the game any more. I did not send huge amount of money, but I do so since the game's dawn, when it mattered.
Maybe it will pass, but I was actually happy to point out that my support goes to concrete New Zealand folks. Now... that feels like not true any more. | |

I think ggg lost money last year. In the balecast podcast thing, chris was constantly mentioning monitation and finances. He never mentioned money in the past.
Its probably xsolla, i tried to buy a pack and got my credit card locked. Id think they are making less money now than before. | |

You could be right about Xsolla. I also got my cc locked. You would think they would have had the brains to just ditch Xsolla and forget selling out to these creeps.

" Penalties for breaking contract could be quite high. Probably have to stick to contract for a set amount of time. That, or, Xsolla payment processing effect on net income is actually positive instead of negative, in which case mo' money mo' problems for your customers, but I doubt it. Need game info?

Well, gee, you are right. I mean, like how many people sign contracts in the world and later regret it?
Happens daily. God only knows how many times. BUT how many of them regret their actions so much that they then sell their souls to a Chinese company with delusions of global domination? Hmm. Might have to research that one. Censored.

" At least one. Every second. Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done.
Lay your portal gem to rest, don't you die no more. 'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony this league. Try to make maps meet, you're a slave to the meta, then you leave. | |

It is very unsettling to me. I used to have a better opinion of them though. They have played fast and loose with the truth of late. Something they never did (that I know of) in bygone times.

" Most unsettling, indeed. I'm sitting here with my collection of PoE items on my desk, maps on the wall, the shirts I'm wearing, all as a result of massive support over the years. I'll be honest, I'm feeling pretty silly right now. Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done.

" you shouldn't. just add "sponsored by tencent" to all of them to feel better. --- joking aside, a great experiment just finally failed on the current generation of gamers. there will be no independent, free to play, no pay to win games for a long time. idealism is dead. you need to charge people for services, building on people's idealism doesn't reliably pay your bills. a company may offer free to play elements for a certain time but needs paytowin to cross finance these goodies and will finally have to prioritise paytowin over free content. we had 7 years of fun, i'm thankful for that because i know people in nz worked their asses off to make this happen. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!
