I don't understand how people who didn't like poe1 would approach this game with anything other than trepidation, it's by the same team using the same engine, it's effectively a fork of poe1 code

To a large degree GGG weren't responsible for the hype train, I mean they're not going to turn it down but it does seem that some people are blaming GGG for the dearth of content in games they are not responsible for

You dont even know what the term sunk-cost fallacy means, but use it every time.

Sunk-cost fallacy means, that people make irrational decisions, once they have paid for something. It applies for investments like stocks, relationships etc. Things, where you expect a profit at the end. Example: People tend to keep stocks, even when the stock value already dropped by 90%, believing it will rise again. Or relationsships, when people stay in a relationship, even though its bad since 20 years. They can't let go, because they've "invested" so much in the relationship and still think, it will get better.

This theory doesn't apply for something like a game. You don't gain any profit if you keep playing the game and you can't lose anything if you quit the game early.

I think sunk cost fallacy does apply to some games, I've had to catch myself doing it, but it's with gambling type games like FIFA and I imagine diablo immortal has it in spades. That feeling of "I have half a good team, I spent $100 on it, that $100 is wasted unless I spend another $100 and hope I get the other half of the good team"

I think you're right that it doesn't apply to PoE though, beyond the first $30 there's no benefit to spending money on top of what you've already spent, and "I have to play the game because I spent money on it" is not a sunk cost

I've been following POE2 for some time, they kept saying how it's going to be its own thing and a different game altogether, but it turns out the endgame is just POE1 after all. My mistake is buying a support pack so early, and it is my mistake alone. Can't help but feel disappointed by GGG for not actually doing what they said.
