Not much regarding changes. played lol since beta and gave up because of the toxic community. not because of any game changes. the art remained the same overall and the game stayed free.

Nothing more, nothing less. 80% to some Chinese company is a pure, unadulterated sell out. Chris and his co-founders took the money so they can live like royalty, their children' children can live like royalty. I'd be real interested how much Chris banked on this one? 100 million? 250 million? 1/2 billion? Those are big numbers, but this was a big buyout. GL, I'm going to Wolcen. Oh sure, I'll still pitter patter around on this game. But by no means will I put 1 red cent into it. Not supporting some corporate bloated toad fish. You dig?

Other than Tencent will make Bex wear only a metal bikini in the office, GGG will still have full creative control over the game. Sounds good.	Posted by solidghost#2299 on May 21, 2018, 6:05:38 PM Quote this Post

Not really happy about GGG having a publisher like 10c now but I do not regret a single minute (or $) I have put into this game. Who knows? Maybe it was a genius deal of Mastermind CW and will benefit the game we all love so much. Only time will tell. never trust ze germans!

A lot of people supported GGG because they weren't owned by a publisher/investor. Do you eat regularly at a family-owned restaurant? Support local business? Buy products manufactured domestically? Do you understand what these concepts are? Then you should understand why supporters are upset. Your strawman of 'business experts who know better' is so far off the mark it makes you look like an idiot. Yeah you're right. We all should just blindly follow the whining train here, although the game we love is still the same no matter who owns more of it.	Posted by Mindelo#6821 on May 21, 2018, 6:09:11 PM Quote this Post
Nice, with this take over and all the cash injected into the game I no longer need to support the game.	Posted by LordDeliverence#4614 on May 21, 2018, 6:12:58 PM Quote this Post
