Jonathan just confirmed on Ghazzy's stream that the crafting bench is no more, good luck to HC players trying to cap out the resistances :lol:

Those pesky streamers were playing HC while all these

That is just steam and only early preorders. It is probably going to be #1 at launch.
It won't be #1 at launch, because it's f2p.
So are half the games on that list, it must include DLC sales. I bet the whales will be out in force snapping up whatever new cosmetics they're offering on launch. If GGG has any business sense they'll put all their best looking shit for sale then.

Some GGG employee and his thoughts about PoE2 (his leaks about the stuff shown in the recent trailer were correct, so it's very likely that he is a real employee at GGG). Take it of course with a big grain of salt, here are some highlights:
  • Only a VERY few amount of people were working on PoE2 whenever they were working on a new league for PoE1
  • PoE2 just being smoke and mirrors to get a huge load of MTX cash pleasing Tencent, and eventually Jonathan might bail as well
  • limited weapon availability due to missing animators (working on new leagues for PoE1)
  • Chris has zero involvement with the game, since this game isn't what he loved anymore. He hates zoom zoom and hates how trash melee is
  • GGG is fully Tencent now (more Chinese in the office)
  • "I'll say it again, PoE2 is just marketing trick to make cash as they tuck tail and run. If PoE2 doesn't do Elden Ring level numbers I think you'll see Jonathan disappear into retirement"
  • Entire point of PoE2 is just to sell day 1 mtx packs. The most important thing I house right now development wise is not bosses, content, game balance, it's making sure the supporter packs are ready. Jonathan lied to you all about the three week delay it's because the fuckign MTX packs that are the entire reason for EA's existence aren't ready set.
  • Combat is one sided where pure melee is utter garbage and everything is balanced against crossbow shattershotgunning the entire screen
  • Jonathan turned the game from what was going to be a return to more dark gritty dungeon crawling and deep mechanics with more complex systems into just a top down shooter. Every single skill is just lightning lasers or projectiles.
  • If you like shooters PoE2 gonna be great for you. You'll come to understand soon enough.
  • Playing a melee in POE2 fucking sucks
  • I've been at this company 8 years now and the promise was always to make melee great again. Then Jonathan came in and fucked it all up and made the entire game hyper shooter focused.

Sounds like our local anti-zoom PoE1 experts who are yet to kill non-tutorial pinnacle bosses :lol:

Fuck! I hope this is not true.. but again melee sucks in all aRPGs so I do not care if it sucks in PoE2 still, I can play other characters.
Only fear is if they will really fuck off and leave PoE2 unfinished and then kill servers soon after that..

Also worst case scenario, we will play Titan Quest 2 instead.

Afaik they've never sold cosmetics and stuff on steam before, beta keys is the first. And yeah, I think the list includes dlc profits.
