Hot take: PoE2 community is way too harsh on GGG

I know there’s some reality to some degree on some of the criticisms but yeah, I find the community way too harsh on the devs. You all know it’s an early access right?
For context, I played Warrior and yeah there’s problems. But it’s an early access what were you expecting?

I’d love to hear your take on it.

It's been three months and the devs haven't done anything.

D4 will have launched their own season and a mid-season patch, along with other events, in less than half the time.

GGG should be roasted for the poor job they've done so far.

D4 is closing in on two years on the market.

POE2 is barely 3 months on the market.

And i was there for the first 6 months of D4, it was in an even worse state than POE 2 comparatively.

Also, Blizard is a multi-billion dollar corporation with far more resources than GGG.

In the end it sounds like you prefer playing D4, so you should go and do that.

That's the point where I hoped we'll land in. GGG has 100 to 200 employees compared to Blizzard that has 13 000 has of 2022. Those games are comparable in a sense that they are the same genre but the company does not have the same history and resources. Bear in mind that Blizzard made 48 games (accounting for dlcs because this is content sometimes as big as an indie game), GGG has 2, PoE1 and the one we are playing rn PoE2.

Comparing the two is defined as null in this thread.

Change my mind.

GGG should be praised for the work they've done with the team they have. D4 is garbage and they have over 10,000 people working on that doodoo.

I just updated my game to 0.1.1f (that is running on MacOS thanks to the amazing community that this game has).
I came upon a thread on this forum earlier today regarding the fact that the DPS is not updating on chara screen, and every replies says that GGG doesn't care etc etc.. It just fixes it. This thread goes on for 14 pages which is ridiculous.

I have to agree ofc.

People bothered enough to post on here to complain are gonna be the most unhinged, yeah. Does blow my mind too though

Absolute man children that cry when their treats don't taste how they want them, its pretty sad

We're brought up to believe we're these righteous consumers, that anything you pay a cent for (or even if its free and you spend your time instead), you as the customer is owed some sort of blood price

GGG's transparency seems to have a counterintuitive effect that emboldens people to also be transparent about how angry they are

Forums posts are also in early access and should not be taken personally until full release.

It's early access so we're giving feedback. I don't know if it's too harsh or not.
And people also paid for early access, and when people pay for something they expect a certain level of quality, EA or not.
