What is GGG's Market Valuation?

Okay, I'll agree with the pilgrim hat. That shit was great on a witch.

And I'm just the sort of guy who would happily watch GGG go against their FOMO strategy from yesteryear and sell every damn exclusive again. Why not? That was a promise made by a GGG that no longer exists. One that didn't play favourites with streamers on league launch or feel the need to buy views. And honestly, I reckon there are so few OG supporters left that there'd even be much of an uproar. Certainly not one loud enough to stop it.

I refuse to believe that there'd be more outrage over bringing back formerly exclusive mtxes than GGG literally choosing 'a truckload of money' over sticking to their true original core tenet: fair access to all players regardless of their value to GGG.

...On the other hand, I was never as precious about that shit as some other OG supporters so who knows.

Who cares about OG supporters, GGG already squeezed all the money they could out of them.

I am sitting here as a big fat juicy golden lemon ripe for the taking, craving for GGG to coil its firm hands around me and squeeze all the money juice outta' me.

Does FOMO over a 3 month period really yield more revenue on a product than a quality item would've done in this game's 10 year lifespan?
See, that's another problem with exclusivity, it promotes mediocre products to a desirable status because of all this fomo bs...

Exactly so. GGG should be ecstatic that even after all this, there are still people out there like you happy to contribute unhealthy amounts of cash for mtxes.

True FOMO expired with PoE long ago -- no one feels like they're 'special' here just for buying limited-time mtxes/packs anymore. Nowadays it's more like Fear Of Being Left Behind -- skip one league and you should be fine with a few videos and some patch note perusal. Take a year off and you're probably screwed. Buying league support packs just gives you something to do with your money while you're here, provides an Exile with some weird mix of belonging and justification.

So have you given any more thought to my proposal that you become an influencer as part of your quest to take over GGG? People power and all that.

I buy mtx because no other game is as detailed and diverse in game play

Wouldn't it be just as detailed and diverse in game play if you didn't?

I think you're missing a crucial clause there: something like 'I buy mtx because no other game is as detailed and diverse in game play and I like to support that' -- which is, as I have said on many occasions, a perfectly legitimate reason to support. Probably the most legitimate.
