When Activision bought Blizzard, i said this was terrible news. Comments said "a lot of anger here over something so small."

I wonder who would agree with you in 5-10 years.

Fextra is the only company I'm concerned getting a review copy. We all know the scummy ways they run their wikis and ensure they're at the tip of the Google results when they're always unfinished or have incorrect information. They'll want to do the same for poe2 because of how big it is and instead of having a good, succinct wiki we'll have fextra slop.

He also makes bad build guides for games and for something like poe,a bad guide could lead to someone dropping the game. It was a bad choice in ggg's part

The bad build guides are actually a problem, especially if he becomes like a forefront channel for poe2, which would be very bad. However even top poe2 content creators only have around 100-200k Subscribers, not including people like Asmongold that come form other games initially.

However i recommend everyone the Poe Wiki Search plugin for chrome. We already had issues with a bad wiki before, which is why that plugin was made so you get redirected to the good wiki lol

POE community is pretty hermetic and not very large. You already have plenty of shady rmt sites posting terrible guides on youtube every league. They are AI-narrated drivel that isn't even close to being good build guide. But hey they point towards their little money store.

In a game like POE this does noticeable damage. To the economy, to the brand, to the community.

POE 2 hype threads: No.

Angry nerd threads: Yes.

You poor fools are stuck on the image of what GGG was.. not what it's become.
As of march this year Tencent now owns 100% of the company, and while CREATIVE control was retained by the devs.. publishing, marketing and ALL the rest ARE NOT!..
The simple fact behind this whole debacle is that Fextralife and Tencent have been in bed with each other for years and have outside contracts (how else do you think they keep being shoehorned into every 'press release' Tencent have ANYTHING to do with?..)
I believe GGG in this case is capitulating for their parent to save face, and Fextra the narcissistic POS group they are, seemed very happy to shift the blame didn't they?..
EVERY NDA sent out was identical, they didn't 'personalise' each damned one lol.., and Fextra was the ONLY ONE to screw it up..
Don't be so ready to swallow the BS just because it's served with a smile..

I have to agree, they are not a media company and have a very terrible reputation as well.

No idea who thought it would be a good idea to give them EA access. They are still putting out guides and walkthroughs.

GGG should send them Cease and desist for breaking NDA.

Don't think this is a big deal guys though i agree they shouldn't have gotten a code, there are way bigger things to deal with in life lol

classic GGG L

Why does it matter tho?

I just feel bad for people following his guides and being hardstucked in white maps afterwards.
