Speak with your wallet

Really? With a company like Tencent putting $80,000,000 into purchasing your poor little indy you still claim they're in trouble. Gotcha.

Jokes on you, I've stopped purchasing supporter packs for many leagues now. I will not buy another supporter pack until GGG comes out and say that they will implement a better trading system, at the very least for currency and maps.

Better trading for currency will end up with even worse currency bots. I don't know what the solution is, but currency trading never really bothered me too much.

Maps are better handled with changing the underlying systems in the game and moving away from the strict rarity of drops they have a hardon for. Getting maps is the main reason i get bored each league. Well now it's that and not being able to delve as much as I'd like

Oh, really? A company like Microsoft bought a company like Nokia for many more money. And how did it end?

But I have a better example. Especially for you. Company like Bayer purchased company like Monsanto for US$66 billions. What was the effect of this purchase, read by yourself.

And recently, the equivalent of Chris Wilson at Bayer was ceremonially kicked out from there :)

I buy packs for me not for supporting ggg/tencent

Are you just guessing or was it posted somewhere how much Tencent paid for their GGG stock buy-in?

But shit on the OP, what super revelation... not. I too have not bought any mtx for a couple of years now but there are millions of twitch reaction game addicts that must love the racer/shooter type of game and GGG has decided to abandon their core principles and just follow the money trail (so sad but money talks and ideals walk... GGG is only in it for the money now).

So all of us from CB/OB days and supporting GGG because we also agreed that PoE was "the arpg we would most want to play" can never buy another mtx ever and GGG will still be very financially healthy forever based on Chris's GDC presentation. He said the answer to getting your game played forever is to tap into the gaming addiction craze by making your game be a twitch shooter (after all 8 mil+ Fortnite player base is nothing to sneeze at) and more importantly (as his player stats showed) to always let the gaming junkies know precisely when their next racing fix will be coming (13 weeks for PoE). That way we (game devs) can be assured that just like drug dealers there will always be millions of game addicts ready to race from the TSB to 100 every 13 weeks and ready to say "please GGG take my money, I want more bling and more adrenaline rush from racing." The craft of GGG making a quality arpg has been thrown away and it's just a ladder reset and game addicts race to 100 every 13 weeks. What kind of challenge league mechanic GGG pushes out and how finished it is doesn't matter to the racing addict crowd. Just reset the ladder and let me zoom, zoom, zoom and I'll buy more bling mtx.

Yeah I was one click away from upgrading to crucible pack and maybe buying sunspire one, but then Synthesis happened.
And during synthesis while I was away from playing the game following forums and social media it became apparent to me how GGG treats its customers.
As second class.
We want good trading.
We want bug fixing to have higher priority than new cosmetics.
We want 2012 top down diablo clone to not have hardware requirements higher than those of Witcher 3.
But nah, have some new lootboxes and skins that were ripped out of supporter packs to be sold later separately.

So yeah #walletclosed

GGG likely made a tidy pile from the PS4 version recently, seeing as how so many people are unfortunately willing to splurge on MTX and DlC for games they've only just downloaded and not yet played.

The thing is, the other half of players are more cautious, and won't spend a dime until they're convinced that they won't regret that investment.

Or you know, you can buy MTX because you like how this MTX looks and not treat it like "Im buying this to support you!"

Its literally the first game in which I found people like this. When you go to a shop to buy new jacket, do you buy jacket that you like from random shop or you buy any jacket but in shop you like?
