What happened to Chris Wilson?
" Soon we will see who signed GGG's FY24 financial documents in early December 2024. It should contain Chris's signature. What if it doesn't? R0dHIGlzIGNyZWF0aXZlbHkgZGVhZC4gS2V5IHBlb3BsZSBoYXZlIGxlZnQu

" ...This is just you projecting... I was replying to someone who was making up head cannon about how no one is playing POE2. You failed to understand the context of my post. You clearly haven't seen one of the many times I bring up ad populum fallacy AKA why McDonalds being popular doesn't prove they make the best burgers. " I guess It would be evidence they hired or promoted someone to CFO? I mean, it could imply something about Chris, but only by about 1 month. Right now I see pretty strong implications that Chris was ousted in January by the person who signed his official NZ documents. The conspiratorial types are believing everything they read that someone on 4chan probably made up that feeds into their preference. They are actively ignoring facts and direct contradiction of their stories, as is tradition. Pandering to players who don't want consequences for their mistakes is a perfect description of what went fundamentally wrong with D3 and 4. If they wanted mindless mobile game time waster gameplay they sure did make some perplexing choices and marketing statements for 6 fucking years.

Pretty silly not to properly announce it. It was bound to be revealed at some point anyway. If Chris and/or GGG wanted to avoid a fuzz about it they should have said something. The way this was handled just adds to the list of very strange decisions made lately.
*sigh* sums up my reaction to it. |

I don't care kinda, Chris constantly lied last years anyway. They all kept lying and lying. PoE 1 is almost dead, so they focus on PoE 2 only, which their daddy Asian tells them. I am not supporting GGG, waste of time. Good luck to others.
Underserved. All bets are off. Last edited by rememberyouwantedthis#7513 on Feb 27, 2025, 2:44:46 AM

Chris sold his shares and has no say in what happens with the company anymore... why would he stay?
|

" The same is true for Jonathan tho. |
|

My tinfoil hat theory is that Chris did in fact want to continue supporting PoE 1 alongside PoE 2 simultaneously, but this was not in fact ever intended on Tencents part. That's just speculation, but one thing I feel much more certain of is Jonathan wants to see PoE 1 die. It's not far fetched to think that these two visions caused a rift within the company.
For myself I just know I've lost a lot of the zeal to play since Chris got unceremoniously dethroned. The fact that there was no proper send off or tribute to Chris has made it very hard to get excited about either games. If nobody at GGG will stand up for Chris than all that's left is the community. I just know I won't be spending another dollar until something official is announced about Chris Wilson's departure. |

" It really is strange that they didn't make any effort whatsoever to say a proper goodbye. Very odd. |

Chris Wilson leaves and now we are going an entire year without a new POE league.
He obviously was very important to the company, tencent needs to give him $500 mill to come back or something. |
|
" More like people should move on and let this man live his life the way he wants to. Expecting him to come back for money is almost as cringe as the petition someone made long ago with the "goal" to get Bex back to GGG lol Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.
