Yeah, basically going Zero Dark Thirty after release is really what totally sank them. They had a LOT of momentum in the space after release, but just squandered all of it by doing jack shit.

It's too bad since they've created one of the best crafting systems in ARPG history. Outside of that though, I can't say they did a whole lot that impressed me.

I would guess major financial mismanagement given the original team is literally some redditors who thought they could do it better than current games at the time were

Yeah I played it a bit longer last season 3? I picked this up way long ago back when I made this thread. Anyway yeah, the game is OK, just OK. Pretty fun, but there is just something about it thats meh. Its hard to describe what it is though...I just dont get the same feels like I do when playing POE1 or POE2. Its kinda like a Diablo 3 for me, just meh. As for the financials, I mean who the fuck knows whats going on there. Plus with a struggle buss at the helm now, thats been losing moneys left and right, you bet your ass they will monetize the shit out of this as much as they can get away with.

The thing he mentioned about the kickstarter, how they said they would never charge again for content after buying in? Well they have a new owner now so that shit is out the window. Let the players decide, and ultimately they will.

I did season 1 and season 2. I still felt combat didn’t land right with me and the game felt too sparse at times. I dunno. Crafting was excellent. The bosses were pretty challenging. I never got that addicting feel from it like PoE or even D3 during RoS. And certainly not like D2. I really need to give Grim Dawn another try.
