General Discussion - Why does Fextralife have Path of Exile 2 already? - Forum

It seems everyone hates Fextralife just because they're very popular. If they were a niche content creator nobody would care. Kind of embarrassing.	Posted by AbilityPoints#9049 on Dec 1, 2024, 5:05:14 PM Quote this Post
Why does ANYONE have a review copy? The game is going into Early Access. It's a work in progress. The main game launch might not be for another 6 months. Why send out review copy for an unfinished game? Windows 11 24H2 (Steam), AMD 5800X3D, RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB, 32BG DDR4 3200, Samsung 980 Pro SSD	Posted by Stormscourge#2254 on Dec 1, 2024, 5:05:56 PM Quote this Post

Welp....the info is out now, Fubgun is currently live streaming and getting gem info from Fextralife's wiki (I assume he went the VIP route because their current wiki outside VIP is just....well don't open it at work)	Posted by Thraesh#1125 on Dec 1, 2024, 5:44:11 PM Quote this Post
I agree with this post. GGG should perform a thorough background check on every content creator they work with. Ideally performed by the FBI.	Posted by Vez#6978 on Dec 1, 2024, 5:50:15 PM Quote this Post

If the fact that a random publisher of information, like them or not, had the ability to publisher information that you made the decision to go to and read/react to lowers your hype for a game I honestly do not think you were hyped in the first place. Do not watch streamers, do not click on YouTube videos, do not go to third party sites and involve yourself with content and then get mad that you ingested that content. It is the age of the internet, you cannot keep information secret for ever. If it wasnt Fextralife it would have been someone else. I bet when that video was posted GGG sent mass communications to all the different publishers (which I am sure there are probably hundreds) who have early-early access making their release schedule for information clear. The only reason why this is such a big deal is because it was Fextralife. Or it can be due to the fact of a bad decision IMO of giving out review copies(for EA) because things like this(leaks) always seem to happen. It has nothing to do with who it was. Furthermore if I wasn't hyped would I be following closely enough to even know things like this? I also like how you suggest I should stay off youtube ect, how bout I quit my job and don't talk to anyone "In case" they leak something they are not suppose to?

I would assume GGG allowed this so they could get in touch with Fextralifes viewbots and PR team so they could ensure there was less negativity in the dojo.	Posted by Swad1000#4521 on Dec 1, 2024, 7:10:27 PM Quote this Post

What's embarrassing is that you've commented without reading even a single page of this thread. Otherwise you'd realise why people despise Fextralife. There are loads of other popular content creators, who don't partake in any unethical practices, who no one would have any issue with having an early copy.

Let's just hope their poopy wiki won't eclipse the real one when it comes to search results.	Posted by krenderke#3861 on Dec 1, 2024, 7:48:32 PM Quote this Post
