I look at it differently. Granted I’ve not been there since LE’s kickstarter and only since EA, so I don’t “feel” the betrayal. I don’t care what they said 7 or what it was years ago. I payed less than 30$ bucks and got 500h out of it. Almost all of that time I had fun. My “investment” has more than returned value. I won’t mind dishing out a bit more for another 100s of hours. Of course I’ll balance pro’s and con’s before buying it and I’ll still voice my criticism for things I don’t like. Season 3 for instance.
My “investment” in PoE2 has failed on the other hand. I had almost zero fun with it.
In LE I went in with the same baseline… but not that baseline is changed. And now? The balance between upsides and downsides doesn’t hold up anymore. I don’t have any idea about the expected price-point for the future and I have no idea if the pace of updates will increase substantially compared to now to suddenly be in the same position as PoE price-wise for me over time.
I’ll see the content and the prize once they announce it. Then I’ll see if it might be worth my money or not. It will be at the end of 2026 or 2027.
Congratulations. So what do you want to achieve with it? Teach the devs a lesson? You actively want them to close shop and gloat about it? Do you feel good about it and empowered?
I payed 50 bucks for PoE for the thousands of hours I got out of it. For what PoE is offering it’s kind of a ripoff. I life on a budget if not I would’ve payed more. I bought PoE2 EA and will never spend another dime on it for the same reason.
I bought LE for 50 bucks and right now I feel like i wasted my money and want it back. That’s just a feeling and I had lots of good hours with the game. None the less I feel betrayed and I don’t react well to this.
I don’t think we can quantify this for everyone or for every game because a lot of taste is involved here. I could kick myself for buying the D4 expension… I bet I want to kick myself when the next D4 expension is arround the corner because I buy it because I hope things get better and D4 fun again.
I will not buy anything from EHG anymore. Blizzard never betrayed me. They offered a dumped down gaming experience that is a complete joke to milk as much money as possible while delivering a game that looks and plays nice and have nothing else positive to say about it.
EHG promised so much stuff or emphesised it so i would speak of a promise or a goal they want to achive. All they did was letting me down again and again and again. I once had the hope with EHG everything will be different and I felt understood. Now I rather would buy an Ubisoft game then LE.
EHG has a lot of work to do to regain my trust and most liekly they will not even after GTA VI.
I’m the type of person which buys a product because of very very specific reasons.
I bought some games without ever playing them, solely to support the company as I’ve had top-tier experience with the interaction of the developers towards their community and the products they provided were in my opinion worth more then I paid for.
I bought ‘non-ethical’ microtransaction stuff or DLCs from some since while that aspect is bad the overall experience is so good that it makes up for it, as well as the security of the future support of the product which makes me think my value is returned.
And then I get products like LE where I buy specifically into it to have a fallback game if stuff goes to shit. Since it’s enjoyable but not ‘as enjoyable’ for me as the alternatives available. And now… this specific point of buying in switched. So now it has ‘no value’ for me anymore, it doesn’t uphold the initial buy-reason for me anymore.
The same as any proper review does? Showcasing the stance towards the product you bought?
You don’t even understand this basic premise?
What a poor person you are.
Can we all take a deep breath? This leads nowhere anymore as other topics arround the same issue. It’s sad to see people are at each others throats while EHG should provide answers to clear the mess up they created. That’s just my point of view for sure but people getting hostile in here and all that ill intend (at least i learned something ) isn’t helping anyone.
Helping others avoid the mistake of buying this game until they fix it. Literally fixing it. ITs so buggy right now. You never know if anything you pick in skill or passive tree is working.
The krafton thing is one thing but I think just as big an issue is that LE is broken game. They need to fix all the skills and passives and items.
) isn’t helping anyone.
