The Game no one Wanted Keeps Getting Worse
"Assuming non-visible numbers (including standalone and console) isn't a fact though. Lmao. I'm talking about raw data here, not some wishful thinking. "If anything this is a nice indication of the standalone : steam split. Applying roughly the same amount based on that % only further proves that PoE 2, despite a seemingly not so popular patch, is still running laps around PoE 1 - even at its highest peak. Thank for proving my point. Last edited by Crîmnor#4334 on Apr 5, 2025, 4:16:18 PM

" I didn't assume anything. I just pointed out to you (with facts) that comparing one-to-one without elaborating is stupid, because there's more to the numbers than Steam Charts is telling us. You just choose not to, because it backs your claims. You just used steam numbers to counter a post, while GGG's numbers are 50% higher than the number you linked to. Anyhow, I still don't see why 0.2's numbers being ~equal to 3.25 numbers is a good thing for PoE 2. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

It's quite simple. One is free to play, the other is not.

They wanted slow and tactical gameplay in PoE2 but invited fast moving PoE 1 monsters.
I was sceptical when watching the teasers and now reality checks in. Best would be if Poe2 gets abandoned and the best parts of it salvaged and implemented into PoE 1. The other way around can also work if done right. Masterpiece of 3.16 lore

What? don't you guys enjoy the newest ruthless game? 10+ years in money invested on a snail phased game where you're spaming constantly roll and praying for your life on each mob pack..
"Parade your victories, hide your defeats. Mortals are so insecure."
Once you break the cycle of fear no angels or demons can whisper you their sweet nothing words. poe2 = ruthless 2.0 = bad. |

I would rather run five poe1 campaigns than three poe2 acts. jesus what a thankless slog through a swamp.

Diablo 3 was more popular than Diablo 2.

" That Standalone : Steam split for PoE1. Even if you go off Steam numbers 0.2 got an incredibly 9000 more players than the last PoE league did, and considering every PoE league has grown in player count, it would have achieved that anyways if it hadn't been neglected for this shovelware title. PoE2 is a great tutorial for PoE1.

" Is that "simple"? It had 500k+ players at launch, which means most of them purchased to play back then without trying the game. Now, more then half of those are gone. How is that a positive? "It's not F2P, people actually payed to play the game - but most of them don't want to play it again" I struggle with your logic here. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

There is no chance that PoE2 will ever be a better game than PoE1. The foundation of the two are different and PoE2's is worse.
