Our Reasoning Behind the 3.13 Launch Delay

Hey, it's ok, we understand. I will be playing cyberpunk, but I'm gonna play Poe too. You can play two games in the same day, you know!

"But the commercial reality is that if we kept our original release date, we would be fucked" -ILOVEIT!

I stand with you GGG. Pls fix the EX pricing, it would be better if EX is capped on 60c as the lowest u can price it. So boring with 1 ex > 24c

Even if Cyberpunk hadn't been the catalyst for this delay, Blizzard announcing 2 days later that Shadowlands was also releasing within a few days of league start might have been.

On its own Shadowlands wouldn't have been a big worry, but both of them in the same window? January was a good call.

Feels nice to have at least some companies that explain the reasoning behind the stuff they do.

It's sad that we won't be able to play a new league in December. Let's hope that the launch goes well in January :)

was the f-bomb profanity necessary in an offical post, though?

all in all this whole fiasco stinks of chris not having trust or confidence in this game... you just keep advertising cyberfunk as if you want poe players to go play that game instead

hasn't bought a single supporter pack, why am I not surprised

Generalising people in general, not a good thing. I and I assume A LOT of people that play Path of Exile, in the scenario of having to pick between a game we've been playing for thousands of hours vs brand new HUGE IP like Cyberpunk would easily pick the second. Surly die-hard fans of POE might not want to play it however, out of those 200k people playing every start league how many of them are like that? I doubt it's even 20%. It is a fact that they would be fucked and saying that POE and CP77 have different type of audience is just BS.

hi , im glad you delay for polished release , dont care about cyberpunk but i do care about unbugged league so take your time make it the best even if it takes 1 month more than you said :)

Thx for being open with the community.

I only have one question. What the fk is Cyberpunk 2077?

>> if we kept our original release date, we would be fucked <<

I just fell in love with you Chris Wilson !


You didnt need any excuses or explanations . You re the boss who provides a free game for many past years , and many years to come , hopefully.

I've been a fan for a long time . But today i m really in love with that sentence.

Let whining players feel fucked. You 're my king Wilson , now and forever .

We owe you , and still not sure that you owe us anything.
