I think the other two founders were happy to sell and he was not. That is why he was no longer showing up because he could not stand being owned by tencent and having no word anymore where the game goes.

We will have a bright future of shop items ahead of us. The people telling you that PoE will never be p2w are the same people that have no word in those decisions anymore.

personally, not making a final post or video explaining his departure after 11 years, which for me he is not leaving on good terms, nothing good for the future , knowing how this project started 11 year ago

Which spirit? When Chris decided to nuke Exalts and swapped to Divines? That spirit when he basically stated that he doesn't care about the players?

Nothing changed, either with or without Chris. Leagues always have been hits and miss.

paraphrasing his response to standard players who lost a huge amount of value due to the switch

"you should have diversified your investment".

i used to love the guy until he said that with a seemingly tongue in cheek attitude.

on adjacent topic. i was one of GGG's defenders who kept defending them, whenever people kept saying "GGG promised that poe2 would not affect poe1" i kept telling them. no, you're misremembering. this is what ggg said about ruthless NOT poe2 v poe1.

in fact i challenged people to find me proof of when GGG actually ever said that. and many have tried but failed. every clip people posted was of GGG carefully wording their statements saying something along the lines of "GGG will support POE1 as much as possible" without actually stating that.

then one fine day after being smug and pointing this out to people again, feeling confident that i m right and everyone else is wrong. someone actually gave proof.

in the clip, its chris, who actually says this. omfg lols

i've been wrong all the while. all this because of chris's promise.

in any case, despite me being not happy with him. i do understand and appreciate that he's candid with his responses. not everyone can stand infront of a mic and talk. but i would appreciate it more if more care was given to standard.

there were ways GGG could have helped standard players out.

they could have made standard only npcs such as perandus npc which could be rerolled at a cost. kept navali inside with easier ways to reroll all prophecies. an npc that sells divines for exalts and vice versa. kept alt quality gems as legacy gems. retained cluster passive nodes as legacy while introducing newer ones to replace the legacy ones on newer jewels.

but no. fuck standard.

and most of you temp loving poe1 players didnt give a flying fuck about standard. now that poe1 temp league is sidelined, suddenly you guys are all concerned.

asking for chris? chris was at the helm when standard got recklessly disrespected.

first time? meme.gif

I think there was a soft coup, though not by design, more dictated by events; good people do bad stuff and so on.
If his contract were terminated, surely you find evidence of that, somewhere. It's not there.

Of course all of this is amenable, but all parties have to be willing. Jonathan is managing director, Mark moves to PoE 2, Chris returns as the managing director for all the programmers among the streameers. That way, Mark and Jonathan have their hands free and the cycle for PoE 1 can continue with hopefully two leagues a year.
So many of you seem stuck in "we need a plan". I never understand what keeps you from "we need this plan". It's easy. [Removed by Support]
