widescreen resolution removed from the game.

GGG, if you can't even reverse this completely tone deaf decision, I don't have any trust left in you making good decisions anymore.

This is an open-and-shut case. Give us (back!) modern game support.

Fix it, GGG. You have no excuse.

1) PoE has existed for 11 years and this argument didn't exist - EVER - until 10 days ago

2) ZERO competitive players win competitive PoE events by using this supposed "cheat", meaning there is ZERO evidence that this provides a competitive advantage

3) By this same logic, 21:9 is a "cheat", but 21:9 is still allowed.

4) By this same logic, having a fast PC that can run PoE at 200fps instead of 60fps is a "cheat" because it allows you to react to everything much more quickly.

5) By this same logic, M/KB support should be disabled on PC because controllers are supported, and M/KB is basically "cheating" compared to playing on a controller.

6) PVP is not a thing in this game

7) Stop being an NPC white knight

8) GGG, Fix your game.

Even with the 90% loot cut, you can play the game.. But with the black bars, the game is literally UNPLAYABLE for me...
WHY ? WHY ? That makes no sense to remove 32:9 support after you had it for so long in game and the hardware getting better and better every year..

It's like you want the player to leave your game.. What the duck.. don't know what to say about your stupidity..

Fix it, GGG.

Please fix this.

the argument's been made for many, many, many years - starting from pvp/racers.

Yet 32:9 wasn't even removed for this, neither an argument that GGG used to justify it.
As said previously, it doesn't give any advantage on a real 32:9 display, the added elements on screen are on the edges of your FOV, it's jsut a immersion feature. Abusing it on a windowed client with smaller screens is another issue, and can be adressed by much smarter ways than a braindead "just kill it". At this point, the feature was there for a decade, one more year with it in it's current state wouldn't have been a huge issue. Just touch it when the complete fix is ready to go.

If it really is an issue for races and PVP, there are ways to juste disable it on thoses specific content too... and let 99.9% of the 32:9 playerbase enjoy a more immersive game.

Otherwise, thanks for the thread bump :)
