People are overreacting

" Do I believe the internet is prone to outrage and people will have forgotten about this in a month? Ask me in July. GGG’s business model isn’t built on generosity, but vanity. If the game remains fun, if the next supporter packs contain very pretty MTX, then yeah - GGG will still make money. Plenty. “Please understand that imposing strong negative views regarding our team on to other players when you are representing our most helpful forum posters is not appropriate.” — GGG 2022

" POE is not Diablo GGG is not Blizzard (North) Tencent is not Activision let that sink in for a moment... "You want it to be one way, but it's the other way"

" Not from me. I supported them because they were an indy company. | |
" ^This Except they dont have the majority shares in Epic ( Only 40% ) At least I believe it was 40% either way. I agree fact is they have not in the past messed up any of the games they bought. | |
" I believe that’s true of most of the beta crowd. I think the community has changed a lot since, though. “Please understand that imposing strong negative views regarding our team on to other players when you are representing our most helpful forum posters is not appropriate.” — GGG 2022

I'm with Charan on this one. A lot of people who supported GGG won't dish out money to Tencent. There WILL be a drop in the cash flow, and the only real question is whether or not the drop will be large enough for Tencent to directly take the reigns and start "fixing" the situation.

" I'm 50/50 in agreement. I know some people like it for the shines and others ( myself ) was supporting PoE because they were indy and I enjoyed how they from the start followed through with what they set out to do. Id really like to know that the money I spend on supporter packs will be going to buying Chris and the rest of the devs a new Porsche and not to some other random billion dollar industry big wig. lol ( only half joking ) honestly Id like to know the majority of the money I spend is being put back into PoE and not pooled into and then dispersed to other games as Tencent deems fit. | |

That’s what they said when Activision bought Blizzard Entertainment.
Results are yours to judge. | |
" So what were you reasons, exactly? To be able to spam forums with posts claiming you single-handedly sponsored the development of PoE and that Chris should be ever-grateful for that, and in fact you are owning GGG, so that they cannot make decisions of their own? You gave them money, they did a thing. That is it. If you wanted to be able to have a call in anything, you should have bought the shares. I'm so sick of hearing they are not the same anymore. Of course they are not. Because they succeeded for fuck sake. It feels like that you didn't support them so that they can succeed but so that you can feel better about yourself. Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.
