No one wants Last Epoch to fail. They just failed because of decisions, marketing, lack of resources etc over a long period of time.
No one is turning negative. It’s been negative for awhile now and people who were die hard Last Epoch creators like Dread have called it quits after building their channel on LE and 5,000 hours played over 4 years.
I think Dread addresses the issues perfectly. His video is worth a watch and he has started rebranding before the recent news because the writing was on the wall a while ago. It’s just very evident now that LE has been moving in the wrong direction for a long time now and Krafton isn’t going to save LE.
I love the LE Devs and they were forced into a no win decision and I don’t fault them for that. (However the LE Devs to be fair made bad decisions years ago) and over promised on things they couldn’t deliver which forced them to sell to Krafton.
If the LE Devs marketed better, had a better microtransaction strat like PoE to turn a profit they would still be running the show now instead of Krafton. I’d rather pay for an expansion then have some corrupt mega company add pay 2 win on everything.
So a lot of missteps happened years ago that lead to what is happening now. No one is perfect but we are where we are because mistakes were made with LE’s direction awhile ago and forced EHG to be bought out by Krafton who will run LE into the ground.
Mistakes were made years ago the recent events are just a manifestation of those mistakes. It’s just a shame a game I was a huge fan of is now done and I won’t support the direction they are going just like the majority of people.
This has nothing to do with “turning” negative.
