And the best example of this rude decisions is nerfing builds based on tempest bell (0.2 patch) with 10 combo requirement and then 1h after launch to bring it back to 4 in a hotfix. I tried Poe1, noty, old game, outdated graphics and way too much content to keep up with. Don't play *Early Access* games if you don't want to be a tester. El. oh. él. The nerfs and bugs are a common GGG "thing", present in Poe1 as well when new content is launched. I can only respect your opinion if you are saying Poe1 is in Early Access for 15 years...

Posting a Thread called "Players are not Testers" in a Forum called "Early Access Feedback" is wild. It's wild, but not that wild like treating it like full release, buying streamers outside genre, heavy advertisement, selling literally every kind MTX from PoE1(Kirac/Boxes/etc.), selling 480$ packs with Tencent on back, when their income was very high before launch of PoE2.

There is no incentive to leave early access. If anything, they lose money. A full launch just means the version changes to 1.0 and new players no longer have to buy the game to play.	Posted by FruitLord#0833 on Dec 18, 2025, 1:49:02 PM Quote this Post
Well if the game is supposed to launch in patch 1.0 then we will have 5 more testing leagues. So the launch will be two years from now? That is 3 years of testing instead of one. What went so terribly wrong ?	Posted by eternalJOURNEYofTHEloser#5873 on Dec 18, 2025, 1:55:54 PM Quote this Post

That is 3 years of testing instead of one. What went so terribly wrong ? Greed and hubris. They failed to consider that needing to run two games at once in order to retain the PoE1 audience means trying to run two seasonal games delivering half a game each to a split playerbase.
