Poe1 reddit has links to ggg whistleblower chat, everything lines up now.
Topic name is actually spot on, this was the actual game's direction.
Yep it was true , but was what he said back then really that surprising ?
" My CEO is a shortsighted liar who only care about selling MTX" -can be said about 99% of the gaming studios
Nah, i expected it. Though some people are still very delusional.
What surprised me is that poe1 reddit didn't seem like echo chamber like these forums and poe2 reddit, maybe they don't have the budget to moderate both reddits now lulw

Because these delusional people get downvoted into oblivion on PoE 1 Reddit by the other people who kept receipts ... so they can't make their denial of reality a lalaland echo chamber unless there is a presence big enough of company fanboys snowballing their lies around : that's the case on PoE 2 reddit because these people are always attracted at consuming the last shiny product .

PoE 2 was announced in 2019. Presumably it MUST have had ideas and some kind of minor develop prior to that announcement (there was gameplay footage, albeit basic). What in the world has been going on for SIX years that there are so many fundamental flaws in the design? Even with the 180 in 2022ish when they separated it into a standalone....that shouldn't really have required a "restart" on the entire development.
There are many valid points about "borrowed" things from PoE 1: league mechanics, skills, supports, some itemization, etc. But....why? I would have rather had a small EA, with basically NO crossover with PoE 1 content. It seems to go against their rationale for splitting the games. Do we REALLY need ritual? Are breaches REALLY necessary? The time they spent implementing those could have been spent creating brand new mechanics, or at the very least more map bosses.
They made the basic game, but it took too long and still there was a long way to go. Probably they had no funding to complete the project, so they sold shares to Tencent in 2024 who it return just said to add everything missing from POE1 directly and release the game.
