    PoE2 has been postponed for 5 years. It’s the classic example of feature creep.
    Will it be amazing when it comes out? Maybe. You know what would have been amazing, having all those new animations and models for the past 5 years. It could have been an iterative work, nobody asked them to do it all in one go.

      POE2 was never set to release 5 years ago. True, they did just delay beta, but at no point did they commit to a release date. Kinda hard to delay a game you never committed to a release date for.

          Yeah… still not a delay. Internally deciding to make a bigger game, having not announced a release date should be commended, not derided.

            GGG has left poe to rot for the past 5 years while they’ve been creating a game for a new audience and misleading their current players in their intentions. They certainly won’t be commended by me.

              It’s a >10 year old game with thousands of hours of content. It hasn’t been left to rot, it’s retired… Gods you are a spoilt brat.

                Plenty of old live service games see active development like world of warcraft. I’ll remind you that you don’t know me, so please keep your projections to yourself if you want to keep arguing.
