Skull fuck? There wasn't anything in that video that would make a PoE player even remotely interested. It seems designed to resonate with reddit circle jerks not actual players.
It will probably sell a lot but it won't affect PoE at all.
Modern POE is just one big zoom fest. I hate zooming. Moreover you don't have choice to not zoom, if you don't zoom you die, if you don't zoom stuff like temples is impossible to do and so on. So for me modern POE is worse than release D3. I started POE back in closed beta i fucking loved it back then and loved it up to 2.0 when they decided to just give up and doubled amount of monsters per map effectively killing any kind of melee that is not shooting some stuff. Since then game was mediacore but alas i invested some time in it and still found it fun. When breach happened it was still pretty slow game but since breach every new expansion ramped up speed and by the time 3.0 hit it was already so fast that i didn't find it mediacore. IT was straight up shite. I still snuffed that copium thinking maybe i am playing wrong so i started to zoom like everyone else and yup shite is shite.
There was nothing good about playing 1 button zoomer collecting currency loot in order to sell them on market because chance of finding any good loot that could help your build was practically 0. So what was the point of playing game anymore ?
I recently played D2 Resurection which is just D2 old gameplay + new graphics and it was sooo much better than POE. You can see things, there is tactical gameplay, nothing dies because you see it, loot actually fucking matters, rares are actually rares and so on.
I also finished D1 a year back and even there with even slower gameplay than D2 you can see how fun it is. Loot is much simpler but much more powerful as stupid blue item can give you shitload of boost.
------------------------
The reason why i am/was certain about D4 being good is that lead dev behind it wrote a lot about D4 creation and essential line is:
D1 theme + D2 gameplay + D3 smoothness
And you can see it in every trailer. Theme wise game is much darker than D2 and especially D3, aka D1. Gameplaywise it looks straight up D2 way of doing skills. And all of that combat is smooth as butter like in D3.
Obviously this is Blizzard and there is plenty of ways for them to fuck shit up like with adding shitload of monetization into game so who knows what it will be in the end but so far as i have seen D4 seems to major incline.
