It is, however, related: I supported at the level I did because so many people who wanted to, couldn't -- that was my Closed Beta 'line'. In Open Beta, it's changed slightly: I support at the level I do because so many people won't. My stance now remains as it was at the start: this game deserves to exist, and GGG are the people who should make it. If can help that happen, there are no regrets. If I don't and it doesn't, there will always be a regret. I can't speak for the other multi-diamonds, but that's where I stand. I supported the developers more than the game. The two are likely impossible to extricate, but no matter how 'good' PoE is, it'd be all worth nothing if the developers behind it didn't put their hearts into it...and it was very clear to me, very early, that Chris liveseatsshitsbreathes this game. Even if the population fell to CB levels, if every one of those people were supporting the game and keeping it going, I'd be pretty cool with that. And that is a very drastic scenario. Pretty much how I feel as well. I don't give them money for microtransactions, I give it to them because I enjoy the game, and wish to see it, and the devs benefit. While I am not a diamond supporter, come next week, I will be halfway to that level of support. Every month or 6 weeks, I tend to donate another $100. This is simply because the price of entertainment I receive is well.worth it, and those that made said entertainment should be payed accordingly.

I'm poor and the week after I had my meltdown (more tame than Xendran's lovely one the last few days) I donated $20 to get the fireball animation.

My meltdown is peaking and valleying all over the place because of conflicting emotions about various different parts of how the game is being handled. It wasn't TOO bad until the reddit post a few days ago, then it just AWERTJRDYW%ELQGB%JW#$ELVJEDFTSKDFJ all over the place for a few hours. Ah well, at least some good is coming from it. Hopefully it doesn't leave behind too much fallout. Last edited by Xendran#1127 on Apr 29, 2013, 2:36:21 PM	Posted by Xendran#1127 on Apr 29, 2013, 2:35:32 PM Quote this Post
You're not poor if you can donate 20$ for some animation. Poor is when you have to spend those money on food, or can't do anything with them because you need them for bills. placeholder for creative sig	Posted by Undon3#5633 on Apr 29, 2013, 2:37:37 PM Quote this Post

I wouldn't necessarily call that poor in my opinion. I'd say poor begins once you have LESS money than you need for food/bills.

It was a very stupid decision. I forgot about some autopay bills I had 2 days later. Last week I had $3. I ate pasta with olive oil and rice for 5 days (I have bulk of all 3 things). I'm not homeless poor but I'm not by any means in the spot where I should be throwing $20 away on video game animations. I just really feel strongly about supporting the game. ...and partially stupid and very unaware of my situation often.

Yeah, your definition is much closer to the truth than mine. @Moose: you should hire a financial counsellor man :P placeholder for creative sig Last edited by Undon3#5633 on Apr 29, 2013, 2:41:47 PM	Posted by Undon3#5633 on Apr 29, 2013, 2:40:46 PM Quote this Post

The more and more i see you post, the more concerned i am that the government has been secretly cloning me. Reminds me of the month i bought silver supporter. I fucked myself over so hard that i had to borrow money from my parents. Last edited by Xendran#1127 on Apr 29, 2013, 2:43:44 PM	Posted by Xendran#1127 on Apr 29, 2013, 2:42:32 PM Quote this Post
