This thing is gona flop

Bro it's been up on the top sellers on steam since launch, game's probably already profitable rofl. You can be salty about a lot of the decisions/issues/EA quality but like, this is just dumb rofl.

Gamers(TM) need to stop thinking that because they've played a few video games they're Real Official Gaming Analysts Like Michael Pachter. You're making Michael Pachter look smart and tuned in.

If the game doesn't flop, will you be man enough to come back and eat your words?

This argument isn't going anywhere. Player numbers don't mean anything until we see the new league spikes. Launch numbers will continue trickling down, when the first post launch spike happens will have our first worthwhile measurement. When GGG see how many people return to the game they know results of thier choices, they're bottom line is the seasonal spike in microtransactions.

😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣
You are funny

It won't flop

It might not get AAA numbers but then again it's not an AAA game and doesn't hop to the same profit motive

lost ark also had amazing retention for a few months

look where it is now

this game is popular because it's new and it's almost the best arpg despite its countless flaws

Can’t compare this to lost ark. The retention dropped because the community gatekept players out of progression and turned toxic ontop of the everlasting grind people didn’t know they signed up for. Lost ark isn’t designed for “seasons”, it’s a live service game.

Poe2 legit launched and has had a few small patches to fix things, then had a 25 day hiatus while the devs took a much deserved holiday break. They’re back in office and spicing things up. These doomers need to stfu and let ggg do their work.

this game will never become very popular simple because the disrespect against time investment is just insane. most people are not addicted enough to accept the fact that you can spend thousand hours and end up with nothing. it will just end like poe 1. a bunch of no lifers running around the clock. some casuals playing story. and a shit ton of bots providing both with orbs.

The free to play game that sold a million copies for at least 30 bucks each and won't even be out for a year is gonna flop.

Sure thing buddy. If this is the standard level of brain function on these boards no wonder I see so many inane complaints about this game.

Ahaha so million copies with 220k day and -16% in only 3 weeks is not a flop? Ok

This^, I have over 3k hours in lost ark and I literally only quit because it started to feel more like a job than anything. I've been enjoying poe2 and have over 550 hours already on steam. Yes there are issues, but for anyone to say this early that they won't get fixed is just comical. The game even with its glaring problems has been some of the most fun I've had playing a game and I cannot wait for this game to only IMPROVE over time, which I don't see anyone who's hating mentioning. Each patch will literally just make the game better, but people love to hate, that much is evident. I guarantee there will be hate even when the game does launch to a crazy amount of players
