Also a precision on the % of shares bought would be interesting, especially for the players that supported you GGG.
80% tencent 20% the 3 founders

but we won't buy supporter packs then, huh. And they need it to earn more money from tencent.
You entitled "people" threatening not to buy supporter packs because feelings is what led to this. People need security to be productive and work towards a goal. Entitled milenials with attention span of 6 seconds, clueless to how the real world works can provide any sort of security.

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.
He will stick around. Feel free to call me dumb, but he said he will, and so he will.
You may come back in a year's time and retract your statement :)

If it lets them put more money into creating awesome content for us, that's a win-win.

He did not sell his company. He borrowed a vast amount of money to develop it further promising 80% of all profits to the investors, if GGG continue to grow they can buy back the shares.

seems to me be a move to hire more people and lessen the load on 3 month content and expansions.
if he wouldnt stick around he would have left now.

"The problem with Tencent is the lack of innovation; all of their products are copies."
-- Jack Ma
While GGG might be independent development and management-wise, and based on credible business reports they will be, I fully expect Tencent Games to release a game in the near future that would be a clone of PoE.

This is related to the profit distribution, it has nothing to do with internal/external decision making.
Step1) If i see company A as profitable i can invest my life savings for a 51% share.
Steo2) If the company numbers rise and profits increase i get my money back 5-10 years.
Step3) Profit!
I don't need to make a single operational decision if numbers are growing. This also can be arranged in a contract, which i believe is the case here.
To make profit you can invest in 10%, 1% or 0.0000001% of company, it doesn't matter.
But people who buy 50% + 1 are the decision makers, and they buy it exactly for this, to make decisions.
So don't be naive they will interfere in game and we'll notice it soon enough.
