I feel like I wasted my money buying those supporter packs now 
Krafton has always had a bad reputation never mind whatās just happened with Subnautica, thereās no way they were the best company to partner with (besides the simple promise of a big olā bag of cash). Iād love to be proven wrong, but I think this is gonna end terribly for everyoneā¦

More like they(ehg) bit off way more than they could chew, and are struggling so bad they made a deal with the devil for a golden parachute for when things go to hell.
hmmm, this might have been necessary to keep the game afloat for now, but its basically guaranteed to fall.
1st thing to happen will be reduced sales of supporter packs, since people dont want to be giving money to a notorious company like Krafton, the lower sales will make Krafton push for predatory monetization and the end times will begin lol.
āThatās the whole nervous systemā
Um ok, thanks solid, keep up the good work.
congrats EHG on the new business partner.
a lot of people threw shit at GGG back in the day for partnering with 10 cent. the reality is 10 cent gave GGG a lot of creative freedom and a butt ton of resources. i would say it sped up development by a huge lot.
good luck to EHG. hope you can make LE a greater game than it already is with all the new resource at your disposal
Is that in writing?
The āmost alignedā doesnāt = aligned.
Certainly not enough in your āQAā team.
Kraftonās issues arenāt an isolated incident. What makes you different?
Is your mission to turn your game into P2W?
And there we have itā¦

Iāve been here since day one (Steam) and I love this game. Iāve bought every supporter pack to support you Guys. Iām looking forward to Season 3 and hope it will be just as good as Season 2. I will definitely keep playing the game as long as Iām enjoying it.
But from now on, I wonāt buy a single supporter pack or anything else anymore.
This is my way of dealing with the sale.
As long as LE stays the way it is, Iāll definitely stick with it and can still recommend it to everyone else.
Krafton just wonāt get any money from me.

Well, that makes Grim Dawn the only game not owned by a large corporate entity.
But who can argue against 96 million reasons?
Good by and thanks for all the fish.

In this case, people rely on past experience and they haven a right to be apprehensive.

When the tsunami cometh at thou, thou stand there and wait, too? ( There should be a joke about the crazy Russians who like to take a picture against the background of natural disasters " - letās take a selfie against the background of lava, itās already getting close to our feet!") People have experience, and itās not always need to wait.

I really HOPE that this is NOT a MISTAKE.
Last Epoch is a labor of love and passion.
There is no better alternative on the market imho and I will definitely be saddened if corporate greed were to ruin this game like so many others.
While I hope there will be more variety in the MTX shop, I hope that this will not diminish the original vision of the game to complete the campaign, as well as the quality and scope of the cycles which honest to god keeps getting better and better each time.

I regret buying the game.
The launch version was atrocious; pushed out way too early despite being in EA for 3 years (nevermind unplayable server issues). The updates since, at least in the first few months, didnāt improve anything to any significant degree (even had a dupe exploit).
Had planned to try the game again on version 2.0 hoping it vastly improved by then. and now I find out about this news. (also went and read recent patch notes and saw the rollback to a previous version after an engine update; so the people criticizing the QA are definitely in the right)
If you have 100 staff members and your game is like this, you have a ton of wasted employees. Audit your company, cut the chaff, and put you and your team in a better position. I would expect no more than 30 developers for a game like this (felt like 10 on launch).
Signing with Krafton seems like nothing but desperation.
Immensely disappointed once again.
Really hope this time weāre proven wrongā¦ but history shows only the opposite.

And they will end up destroying the game, which meaneth they wonāt get any more money. Itās the nature of evil to shoot thyrself in the foot.

Finally now you will be able to fix the zone reset after using a portal, thereās that at least.
will multiplayer be made f2p? and will Offline Mode stay in future seasons or become a seperate steam libary entry with no more support ? considering Kraftonās (formerly Blue Hole) reputation, nature and past, still valid questions

I rarely comment here anymore for personal reasons but I couldnāt read through that thread and not say something.
First, congrats to EHG. When I stepped back from gaming I knew they were going to continue to take steps to be better and better.
To the people complaining and knee-jerking to this new chapter. I remember when TENCENT came into the picture and all the chicken littles were out crying THIS IS THE END. THE SKY IS FALLING.
And it didnāt happen. EHG continues, repeatedly to show they listen to the players,. a lot. Hell, this patch alone is giving a half dozen things weāve been asking for.
Iāve never been able to understand the fair weather fan mentality. But then again, armchair quarterbacking is one of pop cultures most consistent stereotypes.
Back to lurking. Canāt wait to see S3 and to EHG, Iāll continue looking forward to seeing what you all do. Good team.
I was just to come back to LE today, but I read the news and uninstall the game now.
When things will go south (not if, when) I will print this quote and personaly present to you. Iād love to see your face.
Tencent was a doomer situation, they are known to be hands-off as their core direction isnāt solely to make money but to gather userdata. Always was, always will be. They have a huge reason to not simply milk the money out of a company but instead keep it in a state where regular new customers come without alienating the playerbase. The more info they get the more successful they are for their country.
Has always been the case.
Krafton is not chinese though, they are Korean, their methodology is entirely differentā¦ and for them itās purely money. Not in the long-term but to showcase immediate success as no care is given for short-term or long-term aspects, they are solely working for the quarterly reports.
Unlike with Tencent - which has a well known pattern of being hands-off - this means the pattern showcased is different. The Krafton pattern is āacquire companyā ā āensure company gets cheaper to manage at any costā ā āmonetize heavilyā ā āignore and milk until collapse, already did their taskā.
Youāve also never been able to inform yourself properly on what the history of a company is and what pattern analysis includes.
Yes, armchair quarterback is a big thingā¦ but between those thereās also actual top-tier analysts hidden. Gotta learn to filter the slob out, which your comment shows āyou canāt yetā.

Tencent bought GGG in May 2018, you might want to google what ādownwardā & āuniversallyā means since thatās not even slightly what happens:
The general trend from 2018 is moderately up as you can see from the graph, the last league before May 18 was in March 18 & that had a peak of 81k, since 2020 (ish) there hasnāt been a lower league launch & most of them are somewhat higher. The cyclical nature of seasonal games means that the numbers always fall off after a few weeks.
