What's your take on what Chris said?


That he wasn't involved in the discussion about Awakened Gems, but does very much agree with the direction of the nerfs. Never heard him say that he wasn't aware.

He can't be involved in everything. It's more or less impossible with 150 employees. Some stuff has to be delegated. But I'm sure he's aware of changes being made, even though he does not necessarily know the details.


You are right about the Awakened Gems but according to Chris: "In many cases I'm having to explain decisions that I was completely unaware of. And if I'm unaware of them, that is my fault...I've made sure for 3.16 everything is communicated to me..."

Yeah, Chris said that he was more of a mouthpiece and his role was explaining changes the developers made.
8 mod maps are the new alch and go.

"Down the road" doesn't really seem enough for this community. They want every change "now", and if they don't get it "now", GGG does "not care".


Because this is a game and we are gamers, not investors in a growth stock.

Not me personally. I'm not going anywhere because of the changes, but I'm not expecting gamers to have patience. They'll just go play another game.
So far all I see him do is provide a vision that splits the playerbase and dumbs down the game. What else does he do?

chris said they value player feedback and wont go against what people want, however they nerfed harvest to the ground despite probably 80% negative feedback on initial nerf patch notes. again, in those patch notes it says the number of high tier crafts would stay the same, however i got not even one augment, remove or whatever high tier craft the whole ultimatum league.



Chris has said a lot of things.

A lot, probably majority of player base has been asking for an overhaul of trading for several years.
No update to trade manifesto. No new system. No changes. Nothing.

Majority of players pissed about Harvest being obliterated. No changes made.

Majority of players pissed recently about the upcoming patch. No changes made.

Majority of players LOVED deterministic crafting. Ok, Harvest was way too OP. But since then, any deterministic crafting has been nerfed again and again.

Chris will gladly go against what people want, if it's what he wants.
I do not believe he listens to anyone's feedback except the 0.1% and top streamers.

theyve literally just made a set of changes that make the game harder and less dumb, and thats what a vocal minority are complaining about, that they liked a dumb game for dumbos and dont want to actually have to play the game with any level of skill or thought. so i dunno where you are getting these completely backwards ideas from.




he runs a 8 figure profit international company with probably close to 100 staff that is monetised and trading in dozens of countries across the world that have completely different trading laws, product laws, content laws, with many localised versions that require individual content for that region, marketing, awareness of local culture. a company that is in partnership with other companies that require co-ordination, synchronisation, a company with tons of different internal departments that need co-ordinated, budgeted, staffed. he has to keep up to date on the big picture, not which exact changes are being made here or there, where is the company going 2 years from now? 5 years from now? projections, costing, preparations, fallbacks, legal, market trends, competition... where are we with poe2? where are we with our accounting? where do we stand in relation to shifting employment laws? where are we on rent? whos fixing the aircon in studio 3? whos contracted to fill the vending machines in the lobby?


he runs the business, have you ever worked for a business? have you any awareness of what businesses are and what it takes to run them?

thats what he does.

you wanna go ask bobby kotic what the challenge rewards are for the next diablo 3 season? what the changes were in the last pass of monster damage in the game and when exactly that was? do you think he even knows what a d3 season challenge reward even is as a concept? I give it about 50/50.
I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

you realise hes not making these changes? that there are game designers who actually run the development of the game and make these changes you are talking about, and thats not chris, thats the actual content design team who make the game.

Then why is it constantly about Chris' vision? If it's not his vision doing this, WHO'S IS IT? You cannot tell me the guy who takes personal responsibility for the "vision" of the game has no hand in the changes. That simply not true.
