@GROK is that woke or based?
i am incapable of reading or comprehending things

>>716408210
Bad, if you support developers. (Subnautica drama is with Krafton)
Good, if you don't support developers (because Krafton owns EHG, Subnautica, and PUBG).

>>716408435
ill just go back Diablo 2 remaster

>>716408069 (OP)
game was always mediocre and now it's dead
nice

those devs died with below zero. krafton will do a better job than they would with sub 2

>>716408162
Their web season (was it 1.2? or w/e?) was a success though. They got 150k concurrent players. Primarily, however, they benefitted from the lowest that PoE1 and 2 have ever been. PoE1 still had not had any updates for a year, and PoE2 was currently being called the ruthless, no loot game after 0.2
LE's biggest problem is that it is a game that showers you with so much loot and power creep that it is boring. The only piece of "hard" content is Uber Abberoth that is hard due to an inflated HP pool and damage numbers, not interesting mechanics or build requirements.

I thought the Webs league was fun enough, but they need to tone down the loot and add more than just him. They need more mapping content (which the web system did help). But yeah, I dunno. They were really happy with the success of this league, seems weird to sell out then but maybe that is why they did?
>Release at the perfect time to get the most possible players
>Use the sales of the game/cosmetics to look for someone to buy you out using the inflated metrics
>Get a much better deal/more funding than you really should because of it
Potentially brilliant on their part, potentially disastrous. If GGG sticks to the PoE1 and PoE2 content updates every 4 months each (so 2 months between them) then I don't think there is room for LE.

>using the subnautica dev bonus money on a studio instead of paying the devs THE FUCKING BONUS THEY EARNED
what a bunch of fucks

Getting acquired by Krafton after they screwed over the Subnautica devs. Bad move. I worry for Tango Gameworks if they don't deliver with Hi-Fi Rush 2.

Oh, nevermind. It's fucking over I suppose
I guess I'm gonna still hope for the best, it'll be a shame if it gets enshittified because I've loved LE since its early access

>>716408069 (OP)
>Who the fuck is Krafton..

Jesus Christ.

Krafton is South Korean.
They're obviously looking for an ARPG that can compete with something like Torchlight Infinite, which is owned by the Chinese.
Also keep in mind that ARPGs are really popular in South Korea, Path of Exile has a huge South Korean (and Chinese) population. It makes sense that a SK developer gave them the best offer.

>>716410374
Path of Exile is also owned by the Chinese.
Can't compete with that lmao.

>>716410487
Maybe not at first, but a lot of people hate PoE1 now and PoE2 isn't helping.

>>716410487
That is true, I actually forgot about Tencent for a moment. Mostly because PoE has a separate client for the Western and Chinese versions, and Tencent is predominantly concerned with the Chinese one and leaves the Western one alone. I do not know if TI has separate clients, I just know a lot of people complain about the monetization of TI.

>>716410629
It'd take a literal miracle for PoE to be unseated.
And while PoE2 is a FUCKING MESS, it is slowly, miserably coming together into a real game.
I've dealt with GGG's bullshit for over a decade and I'd love nothing more than for the game to have a real competitor.
That being said, if LE is going to compete, it'll have to completely change to a F2P model with well-paced seasonal content, which just ain't gonna fucking happen.

>>716411070
This investment might be the thing to get them to go F2P but I don't know if they have the balls. Their cosmetics are shit. I was willing to buy cosmetics in the Webs league cause I had fun, but they all looked terrible.

>>716411070
PoE unseated itself, the throne remains empty.

>>716408069 (OP)
maybe they can get real devs to work on this instead a bunch of hobbyist coders from around the world

>>716411279
I get you're trying to be an edgycoolboi who says cool philosophical things, but that's just not how it works.
Until PoE literally dies or another game overtakes it, PoE is going to be on the top of the pile.
Diablo makes more because Blizzard fanboys are a different breed of human entirely, but PoE is still the best game in the genre, no matter how many times GGG shoots themselves in the foot.
I am STILL mad about Spell Suppression.

Ah, it's you.
Thanks for dropping the mask so quickly.

>>716408069 (OP)
Feels like I wasted my money now, I could have bought something like eight pizzas with what I spent on this game + the supporter pack.

>>716408069 (OP)
Another casual boring game that nu/v/ spammed nonstop that turned out to be super aids, when will newfags learn

>>716411546
PD2 and medianXL runs lap around path of exile.

>I'm saying buzzwords!!!!!!!!
Fuck off, nigger. Last Epoch was a great game, unlike other games in the genre it focused on being fun over complex.
