BUT... what are Chris's duties? From an outside perspective, it seems like a mix of public relations and high-level corporate management... He seems to know a bit about everything all the time but never in depth...


So like every CEO competent or not? You've answered your own question and it was a pointless one to begin with, his duties could be buying coffee for the office does it matter.


Exactly, unless you're a shareholder in the company it's really none of our business what Chris does at GGG. As long as the game keeps me coming back I'm happy.

His title is Director, I believe. He helps all around the shop, as it were.
As was noted at Exilecon, one of the main things he does is review all marketing material before it is released.
~ Please separate the PoE1 and PoE2 forums.

Why do I CARE...? Why do I care about the leadership of a game I've dropped like a thousand hours into??? Nope I don't care at all...!

Just mindlessly carry on like a GOOD WAGESLAVE not questioning the SYSTEM...! Don't THINK!


You can care, just don't be surprised when no one else does (especially GGG). Chris has much more important people to answer to than a random forum troll.

From Jhonatan's interviews in ExileCon for example, he is the CTO, he is the creator of PoE's game engine. However, he doesn't write codes anymore

i've been absolutely surprised by reading this post of his. who is now fixing the stash tab mess they've went themselves into if there is no "jonathan time" anymore?

age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

It is a marketing symbol that is supposed to legitimize the fairy tale that GGG is still "the same good old GGG, poor small Indie company" (please, please, support us with your money, we are soooo pooor) and not Chinese moloch TENCENT.


LOL

A thousand hours?!?!

Wow! Not only should they tell you "exactly" what Chris does but they should give you access to his calendar, his admin password, consultation on all development decisions and final approval of all financial decisions.

The only completely correct answer to this thread is: none of your business.

Everything else is just guesswork from observation.
Thanks for all the fish!
