POE2 kind of shown how many of those speedy zoom zoomers are in POE1 and how much they matter. They always were loud shitty small clique that overtook reddit in last 5-7 years.
and here are people who would rather play unfinished 0.1 version than above garbage:
They paid for your game. You should really be more grateful, if you actually like PoE 2. Thing is, the crowd that loves to hate on PoE 1, from what I've seen, have their share of complaints about PoE 2. And they are... the same complaints as the "zoomers".
This is just a really dumb business decision, and we'll see that play out over time. It's like telling your investors to fuck off. If Tencent is willing to pick up the bill entirely maybe that makes sense, but GGG's situation is not analogous to Blizzard or another corporate studio, they built everything off the back of supporter packs, showing those people the middle finger is a hell of an audacious move, we'll just have to see if it is only "audacious" or also "retarded".
