There are zero valid arguments for why black bars should be in this game. GGG's community post about black bars is 100% gaslighting nonsense and has been debunked many times in this thread. Anyone who keeps posting it has been hopelessly gaslit into another reality defined by nothing more than appeals to authority.

Fix it.

32:9 is gone for goods, fix your own hardware or deal with it.

You are the only one here who still tries to gaslight people into thinking that they should allow 32:9 again, open up mayor bugs, and even allow the abuse of the extra fov.

Too bad that everyone except you knows the reasoning of why GGG decided to put an end to this long time ago, and didn't even bothered to get back to it in neither of their two games.

And honestly it's also good that they finally take actions against all the third party modifications, such as the 32:9 "fix", to put the game back into a fair playground for everyone, without the need of a extra large monitor to cheese boss fights or AI, or other things to gain massive advantage over players who play the game normal.
Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

It's just the same couple of people who don't know what they are talking about and they just want to defend GGG. These forums always have some folks like that, since GGG is a good company and lots of folks like the game.

Trouble is, this is an instance where GGG is provably, demonstrably, objectively wrong. The only such instance I can recall in 13 years.

There are no valid defenses for the inclusion of black bars in this game.

32:9 won't return for obvious reasons, get over it or fix your niche hardware.

There are no valid reasons to include black bars in this game.

A quick recap for anyone just joining:
* PoE is not a competitive game - it doesn't matter if some players have a slight hardware advantage

* Even if PoE were a competitive game, the logic behind removing 32:9 support is arbitrary - there are many hardware and software advantages in this game which afford a greater benefit than going from 21:9 to 32:9

* The GGG community post about this is pure gaslighting. Go find users on this forum or on reddit complaining about problems with 32:9 before GGG removed the support. I'll wait. They don't exist. Zero people complained about 32:9 until GGG told them they should complain about it. None of the people in this thread arguing for black bars know what they are talking about and none of them are arguing in good faith. If they were, they'd be able to cite problems which players had brought up during the many years 32:9 was supported just fine.

* The only real problem is 32:9 being exploited in races. This was a real thing and players did complain about it. Ok - so limit races to 16:9 so everyone has a level playing field. Not a reason to remove 32:9 support from the game.

* If devs are unhappy with 32:9 performance, despite the player base thinking it was fine for 10 years, GGG ought to fix the bugs or problems, not remove hardware support.

* If the intent is to address bad actors, this does nothing, because 5 seconds on Google will tell players willing to possibly violate TOS how to get around this and restore their 32:9 support.

* Even if all the above is wrong, black bars are still not an acceptable solution. Put in a fog of War system instead.

Black bars objectively make this game worse. This is no different than if they did something like hard cap the game's framerate to prevent people with fast PCs and screens from using them fully.
