I don't get it. Why Chris talking about INDEPENDENCE when is totally NOT?

What else can he do now?)

Not lie to us about independence?

but we won't buy supporter packs then, huh. And they need it to earn more money from tencent.

You can't state something like this without a proof! It's just a speculation, which is dangerous.

It seems like Devs lost faith in their own game and decided to cash out and sell their souls to the Devil. If i knew 6 years ago that they would do this i would never have put my time and cash into this. Such a huge dissapointment.

Why? Didn't you get fun for this 6 years? So why not? You got your fun for your money, why you said this now? When you play a F2P game what you expected to see in the future LUL?

i was about to buy slot pack, you got nothing now.

anyone who thinks chris wilson will still be at ggg one year from now is honestly dumb. you don't sell 80% of your company if you plan to stick around, I mean honestly, just stop the blind damage control and think about it. it's 80%, they can't do ANYTHING by themselves anymore, how is that even a debate.

chris sold out ( good for him tbh, he achieved something great ) and now he will either retire or move on to make another company, but thinking that he will stick around is just childish and completely illogical.

Very worrying to see decisions being made solely due to economic benefit. We've truly strayed far from the original concept of the game.

FROM $$$ to simple 10 cents ... so sad.

It's just mine opinion after all, you have a rights to have your own. I don't speculate about it, i just can't give your a proof.

I don't blame Chris for this decision. He working hard last 10 years for make this happend. Yeah, he is stole 95% of content from other games (D2, FF X, etc.) but he got success.
So why not? This is just a business after all.

I don't begrudge a man doing what's best for his family and self either. But I do get upset when I see this, as while it's just a business to some, to me it's a hobby I really enjoy. It's hard to find a game and company anymore I can really support.

GGG I believe in you! please do not fail!
