has Diablo stolen players from POE?
"Pretty sure it's quiet right now because the devs are all playing Diablo 3 - obviously for research purposes. |

" Yeah, that too...if only it were a mutual research project. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.
I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period. |

PoE has stolen more players from Diablo 3 than the other way around, that's for sure.
|

Its closed beta. Anyone who is a big fan of ARPG's will likely also be playing D3 or torchlight, and you can really only commit so much time to chars that are getting deleted in about a month.
Besides, you can't exactly steal customers if PoE is going to be F2P, since theres no reason not to play both. |

A lot of people will play both, Diablo was just released so it's only natural a bunch of people would be playing it at this moment. I suspect most of them will be back in PoE by open beta.

POE is free to play, so I think its hard to steal players from it. I know POE sure stole me away from Diablo 3, but you can always play both.

" Yes the question is how many players PoE stole from D3 ;/ |

Quite the opposite, all of the publicity around Diablo III will bring a lot of attention to the genre - and with that, people looking for free/cheaper alternatives to Diablo.

I'm playing Diablo 3 right now. I've been waiting for the game for bloody years, so why not? And I fully intend to play Torchlight 2 as well. No reason I can't play all 3 games. Each has some aspects it does better than the other two
