PoE Mobile and why I'm not upset about it.
So here's the thing, I see some people upset at PoE mobile but... this is a mobile game done right.
Unlike the terrible Blizzcon fiasco of wasting peoples time to announce a mobile game as their big hyped product and nothing else, this is done right. Exilecon first had the Showcase of PoE 2 which looks fairly amazing I must say from the stream footage. Then they showed off upcoming 3.9.0 content for both the Atlas and the Metamorph thing. And then after all that, they were like "oh yeah and for extreme hardcore PoE addicts, here's PoE Mobile too". They didn't waste everyones time with only a mobile game, they put it in AFTER showing off the content people wanted and with a huge amount of footage and progress. This was what Blizzcon should have been when they announced that terrible Diablo Immortal. Once again GGG Devs prove their superiority over Blizzard and I, as an on-and-off-again player who skips leagues, am very excited to see what comes upon 3.9 launch and PoE 2. Also the fact we don't lose our MTX but that it carries over is really nice as they could have just decided that PoE 2 would need new MTX purchases. So all our neat stuff is still there. I wouldn't hold my tongue if they did something bad and would gladly call them out like everyone else but... this exilecon... it's good, they've done an outstanding job. Keep up the good work GGG!

because diablo immortal got the same backlash?
oh wait because it's made by tencentggg at the same time that activision blizzard but activision blizzard pushed it first and got a shit reaction tencentggg went back to their cave and delayed it.. meanwhile everyone and their grampas were making jokes and memes over diablo immortal and how shit is mobile games.. now that tencentggg announces it suddenly everyone loves it? wut "Parade your victories, hide your defeats. Mortals are so insecure."
Once you break the cycle of fear no angels or demons can whisper you their sweet nothing words. poe2 = ruthless 2.0 = bad. |

" It's not because GGG or Tencent announced it, it's that they announced it properly at their con event but it wasn't the focus of the show. The actual main game, main audience, main players, and con goers (ticket cost, hotel, travel, etc) didn't get slapped in the face with a waste of time. That's why it's not seen as something abysmal, but some still do as if mobile games should just never exist. I'd probably not play it as I use my phone for Youtube when I have it in my hand, but others do and this is good for them. |

It's the difference between "as well" and "instead of".

" because people cry about the idea that GGG would work to develop something other than exactly what they want/play/enjoy/whatever |

" Zero understanding presented, you need to take a look at what bethesda announced that year and how it was received and compare it with blizzard. |
