So, do you know, what PoM criticised contentwise? Because it's freaking on point what he sums up in his clips. When Chris made his announcement of Archnemesis mods getting nerfed, he pointed out: "That's not enough" and summed up concerns that even these forums are full of.

@GazzyTV for example reacted to the same announcement, that's driving the whole forums here on fire:https://twitter.com/GhazzyTV/status/1562671218737958912

Looking very good tbh, I think this is the kind of changes that people want to see. Hopefully this is also within the design you have in mind with the direction you're taking the game.


So, let's talk about honesty and authenticity. I really don't care about submissive content creators who don't dare to speak out concerns and adress problems...i will always prefer the ones who tell the truth and who are not giving an F about dependencies. If GGG wants all streamers to go full Gazzy, then the community loses it's ability to give open criticism a known face.

This is technically impossible. The only way to identify a PC connecting to service is through hardware ID, mainly Mac and IP addresses. Only Microsoft is known to use other hardware to ID a system. IP addresses can be changed easy and Mac addresses changed by buying a new nic.

Only Microsoft? You would be surprised...
There are other ways - you can store some info in Windows Registry or in some file. Yes it can be cleaned manually or after reinstalling windows, but still.
And most of all, they will ban him as soon as he shows his new character name on stream.

I know, but this still does not justify calling game director what he called him. Did you expect GGG to just swallow all this insult and do nothing or what?
He plays their game, profits off playing it by streaming and then starts harrassing game director while he's STILL PLAYING it! This is beyond ridiculous.

Check his twitter. He apologized and he's taking the league off. This whole thing is so boring.

Game still broke.

You all miss the point. He said this outside of this game and forums. How is it staff abuse? It's only staff abuse if he said this in this forums or in game. While he shouldn't BM Chris, Chris/GGG shouldn't ban as well. Banning is worse because it's unfair and it only happened because he's streamer. Like I said, ban him then ban like 99% of players. Yeah. Keep comparing fake freedom speech to real freedom speech. You wouldn't like it if they banned you for some stupid thing outside of game and its forums that isn't even toxic because it's in their terms. You would be mad. Unless you would shrug it off because GGG is your big papi.

Whether it's within their rights or not have nothing to do with what I said. Honestly, it's pretty based of him to say whatever he thinks.

If they have a problem with what he said, request Twitch to ban him or even chat ban him from GGG's twitch. GGG lying about staff abuse that didn't even happen in this forums or in game is what makes me mad. At that point, it's just lying, abusing powers, and silencing. That's something I do not agree with it no matter what you all say. This is my unbreakable principle.



Absolutely agree with you here man, PoM did nothing wrong and said nothing wrong. in fact, he should not have been banned for this, its not GGG's forum.

I don't think it helps de-escalating the situation in any way. Emotions are high. This is a communication crisis GGG is deeply in. Why even care about all the noise flickering around. Banning critics will not solve the core problem. The core problem being GGG/Chris lying about nerfs and testing sessions, failing proper communication, failing to adress the issues with the game that cause a disproportionate amount of players to leave the league. Instead they focus on abusive language used in a channel with a handful watching.

Everyone wants GGG to work on the problems they invented themself. But instead they misuse working time to go into full observation mode to find swearwords of a critic to mute him. It's what dictators do, not companies of a video game.

So they banned a guy for what he said On that guys own twitch. He didnt say anything on a GGG service? That's pretty Fascists of Chris and GGG. Like Schools suspending people for stuff that happened at home lol.
I expected GGG would have a thicker hide by now considering how toxic reddit and Twitch can be.

GGG just successfully failed in proving they can stand above that. Instead, they are offended if any of their players uses a swearword anywhere on this planet. It's beyond ridiculous.

In the end, Chris is the one tripled down on his vision of PoE, which sucks by the way, and is not only ruining the game we love but also now ruining the business (streamers) that are attached and in a way made PoE a success in first place.

Mr Wilson is not blameless here. He has created a lot of anger. PoM should not have said what he did. But I consider him provoked and we all blow sometimes.


Just to set the record straight; there are POE players that agree to Chris his vision and there are others against it. Of course those against, will always be the loudest.

I think a lot could have been avoided if Harvest League mechanics were never implemented (huge mistake where they once again caved in to the reddit crowd for more deterministic crafting) and if mass juicing never became popular. Of course the idea to aqcuire as much currency as fast as possible is always present in any online game. Problem becomes when the entire game starts to revolve around it and streamers promoting it fully to their followers. And I only mention currency because due to Harvest no one really cares about rare drops anymore. People are used to make certain profits per hour and if GGG touches that, most will get upset as their current toys to do so, are taken away.

Also there probably is an entire industry around RMT. I can imagine that if known successful tactics to generate as much currency as possible become less effective, it will anger certain people.

POE 2 is designed primarily for console.
Becouse he was toxic, it wasnt the first time and he should be perma banned. Also anyone who watches this guy, you are whats wrong with games and twitch.
