Isn't PoE's Steam description false advertisement?

Im playing this game since 2012. I bought my first supporter pack (and first thing from item shop) in 2017.

This. Until 2017 it was possible to play and even enjoy game with 4 stash tabs. Yes, it was inconvenient, yes, it was PITA. But possible, even in endgame. Little bit “muling” well known from Diablo 2 and game was playable. However in 2017 Wilson decided to monetize his business and since then, more precisely, since Harbinger league playing with 4 tabs started to be unbearable. Today there are two PoE’s. Trial version – campaign, possible to finish with 4 tabs and maps – completely unplayable without at least currency tab, map tab and 1 premium tab, for everybody who don’t play SSF. To recapitulate – endgame if fully pay to win. Is game free to play? Somehow yes. It can be downloaded freely and campaign can be played without additional tabs.


Bullshit.There was that guy that did Uber elder on one stash tab on hcssf.So this bs is the last thing I should hear presented as facts.Its not fact and was proven already

It is fact. Of course, you can do everything on "HCSSF" with single stash tab. Just after few years of playing with... all possible tabs. Pay to win :)

You can trade with normal tabs same way as with premium ones. You think trade ddint exist for 5-6 years of PoE existence? Because thats how long it took GGG to make such thing as "premium tab".


[Removed by Support] Premium tabs were included in official game patch 0.10. Ie as soon as it was out of closed beta. That's not five years. It's also entirely disingenuous to say that having to use a third party tool to index your items is the same as a simple drop down menu in the game.

load of BS to try justify your post, the game is free, you can reach end game and kill all the bosses on any account without the need for any spending, and all the expansions are free.

The only things you can buy are cosmetic fluff that you don't need

and stash tabs that you don't need...no matter how hard you want to try push that as being required, it is not, people have played the game since 2010 without extra tabs and since custom leagues started they have been playing and completing the game without ANY tabs at all.

Hence it is free.

You also don't need trade in any way (also proven with no trade leagues)

Premium tabs didnt work as "trade tabs" FOR YEARS. They were just additional tabs that you could color and change name of it. Thats all. [Removed by Support]

Exactly, it was initialy just about being able to rename them and colour them as you wanted, the make public functionality wasn't until 2.1.2e in march 2016 3 years after it left closed beta

Uh....call it "costless" instead of free if it makes you feel better, either way it costs you nothing to install and play.
It's not false advertisement because everyone knows what free means with a f2p business model.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
How did GGG make you pay for anything in order to play this game?

I'm German too, and you are making us look stupid. Please delete this thread, or edit your first post.

Another case of trying to over complicate a fart...

They don't, of course, but the necessity of paying is not the issue. The description doesn't say "we won't make you pay for anything in order to play this game". It says "Path of Exile is completely free", which is a different statement.
The coffee is most certainly free.

You have to pay extra for the coffee cup, however.
