Five Weeks into 0.2.0, POE2 is Down 93.2% Players All Time & 83.9% from Patch Launch
" The real tell-tale sign to me was Jonathan almost shouting at ziz saying "we didn't even touch the campaign!"... doofus, you just fucked every single skill gem in the game starting from level 1 -- GGG doesn't think very well. They miss shit so obvious i'm often left stunned. |

" I think what might help you contextualize things a little more realistically is if you understood that the overwhelming majority of people playing this game have no idea who either of those people are. |
|
" A game that alienates ALL of their streamers basically fired their marketing department. They are in trouble when they do that. In fact its worse because now people wont play because of the streamers. So you take ALL of your POE1 streamers and tell them "no you are wrong, the audience is wrong, the players are wrong and if you don't like it buzz off." They buzzed off and are streaming other games. Anyone who doesn't think that is a problem is on a HEAVY dose of copium. |

" or they have access to more data than you do and understand that you are actually the minority...Steam charts tell a small picture of how games work. So maybe instead of spending countless hours bashing this game that you clearly don't like. Perhaps spend more time playing games you like and moving on with your life. |

" No its copium. Its not wanting to see reality. This isnt a college project or a charity. Its a business. When you have no marketing or even worse negative marketing you find dead games, cancelled projects and layoffs at the bottom of that pit. I DONT WANT TO SEE GGG THERE. They built the most brilliant masterpiece of a game ever concieved. A game that threatened even gargantuan Diablo. And thin in POE2 they blew it. They went backwards 10y. Unless they figure it out and build a real sequel and fire the guy that says "we need to make it super hard so people die a lot to whites." They need to go back to what worked. 最後に Kraythax#2592 が 2025/05/16 23:14:13 に編集

" Yeah, so here's the thing you need to come to terms with: it's not 2016 anymore. The PoE1 streamers who had GGG in a stranglehold aren't nearly as important as you think they are anymore. That's what GGG and Tencent learned with the launch of PoE2 and that's why they chose to reallocate resources to PoE2 despite knowing how angry it would make these streamers and their viewers and all of the diehard PoE1 fans. " You guys aren't calling the shots anymore. That's really all there is to it. |
|
" It's kind of wild that you seem to understand this but you don't see that the business is telling you you're wrong. The business is why the reallocated resources to PoE2 to the detriment of PoE1. The business is why they don't care that your precious streamers are being Grumpy Gus's about things. The business is why you feel like they're ignoring you. Because what you're asking for isn't aligned with what is right for the business. 最後に Kerchunk#7797 が 2025/05/16 23:31:46 に編集

" This a 1000% He thinks that just because the same 20-30 people here are screaming this game sucks and the steam numbers dropped that the game is dead. Its asinine to think that GGG doesn't have access to a complete data set to know how to allocate resources properly. |
|
" It's not a cope. Its reality. If you think for a second that GGG does not have access to a complete dataset and they are just willingly tossing MILIIONS of dollars down the toilet you sir...need help. That brilliant masterpiece literally has never put up the numbers POE 2 has. On a good league of POE 1 their average numbers were lower than Dawn of the hunt on its worst week so IDK what to tell you mate. It really seems, that yourself and others, are actually the ones coping with the fact that you are actually the vocal minority. Hence why you all sit here on a super small forum (less than 100 active users daily) and just tell yourself the lie that you are the majority cause your favorite streamer doesn't play anymore. |

" POE never had any advertising and still gained players every league. Each leagues in POE they have lost half the player base. But you and I wont agree. |
