The Amount of Time "Vacationing" is Actually Absurd

Actually scares me how entitled people are these days.

50 pages of people arguing back and forth about this game being released in an 'questionable state' and then everyone else telling them it's early-access.

Come on guys. You knew what you were buying. The only one that ruined your expectations was you. EARLY-ACCESS. Unfinished, Unpolished, low in content, and constantly changing, even 'promised' features. Could be weeks or months between patches. Could be in EA for years.

You were the one that expected more.

they are back! :)

They should have waited until after New Years to launch it. Easy. Everyone gets their vacation and they can actually patch the game.

Did the person who does the news quit? It hasn't been updated in a record amount of time.

I don't know about that, but the other person that tells the news person what to write was most likely on vacation, so there you go

GGG the only live service gaming company that literally stops all service over their biggest release and says "but it's the holidays." including support tickets. lmao I love how older players just accept this sort of stuff in 2025. PR is a thing ???? lmao.

Did, they stop all service?

Seems to me they've released numerous patches since Dec 6th.

You also realize, this is a team of like 70-80 people right? Do you think your expectations for short support tickets, especially over the holidays when they probably have 1/3rd of the people working. Might be a bit high?

I guess they subscribe to the idea that any publicity is good publicity, idk.

As you can see in this thread they are not above paying off white knight trolls to defend them. I know by now that at least one of them is a GGG alt account...

I'm not sure if this is better or worse than them not caring at all, though 🤷‍♂️

Ya but then a poe1 league would have been launched most likely and that would be without support. and that game is fully released… so they released EA, likely thinking people would enjoy having it to play while on vacations for holidays, and went on their vacation. Likely rationalizing with “they’ll enjoy having the game to play and since it’s EA they’ll understand the lower level of support.”
