I'll stop throwing money to you all because of Tencent, the largest gaming company and maybe the shitest company in the world, caring less about gameplay and fun, just bringing shitty P2W MTX to leech players and feed themselves.

As I said elsewhere:
This makes me think of beta days, when Chris said the MTXs weren't going to be pay to win. Not many believed him, but it's still true to this day.

so u bitch playing with 4 standart tabs? or what u wanna say?

If you guys truly trusted GGG then you would still trust them in their decision to sell majority stake to Tencent. Disappointed in everyone right now losing their faith in what i would say is a deserving company.

fuck u off, i'm waiting GGG answer already more than 1.5 week, on simple question, and today at morning i see why i not get it. GGG now nobody.

what are you on about? Nothing you said made any sense, maybe the reason why you have not yet received a reply is because theyre still trying to decode your grammar and are trying to avoid your hateful tone

If a Chinese player has this to say about Tencent, coupled with my own research, this does not look good bois. Oh well, that new game is getting to Beta stage soon - as PoE becomes commercialised, another young and hungry developer will take its place, then sell their souls too and the cycle continues.

Fair enough that you paste this, but take it from a long-term player, GGG wouldn't make this decision without being real sure. Truust them.

Saddest day of my gamer life :((

Relax, nothing has changed

Not yet... Alone the pressure to make a certain profit will influence decicions. You know some leagues are bashed by players in the beginning even if they are good later - maybe an investor will have a problem with that and force (or just hint) GGG to not make "risky" experiments anymore - such things trouble me. I dont think it will be an obvious influence but the silent things. Hope you understand what I mean.

Tencent, has acquired a majority stake in Grinding Gear Games. We will remain an independent company...

These two claims are mutually exclusive. Just saying. Things might remain as they are and the game will be better for it, or the game might become worse, some day, but you are not >independent< anymore.

The predictable scenario here is that Tencent and GGG have underestimated the fact that people's willingness to buy supporter packs/MTXs is to support an independent company. Now, that willingness declines, Tencent gets pissed their ROI isn't what they wanted, and they make changes. Then it's RIP.

This. In fact I'm poor, wife, children dog and cats. Anyway I have managed to buy support because GGG was an indie and now ?
I feel robbed and deceived... F'cking money !!!

I have a bucket load of stash tabs. They feed my desire to collect everything I possibly can. But someone with no invested cash can still play a character up to level 90+, sell the cool stuff they get, and fund more characters. Those people just can't hoard stuff, they have to sell it. Easy. Stash tabs are convenience, not pay to win.

Somebody just vaal'd GGG. For now it hasn't bricked, it's just corrupted

sad, already predicted it. free to play / no pay to win failed in europe /america.

it obviously only took some financially not optimal leagues for them to prioritise for the future of their employees. quite understandable.

a big thank you to all those idiots who "voted with their wallet", you won and have basically reached what you wanted. gratulation.
you better had realised that you always finance the next league instead of the current, not optimal one.
