AgentOracle: Warframe, Marvel Rivals, Baldur's Gate 3, and Path of exile are all wake-up calls, maybe the games industry left their phone in another room.

Delassa: Babe wake up theres a new wake up call

RworldKM: "Do you guys not have phones??"

Fast forward years later, we can ask them:"Do you guys still have customers?"

apollo9815: How many wake up calls do we need until these studios get their shit together?

CombativeMedic: I saw an article circling around where an analyst predicted video games could go up to $100 soon...then I looked around at Warframe, PoE2, BG3, Marvel Rivals etc and thought, "Nah, I'm good."

Wasn't going to pay $70 for slop, and you're insane if you think I'll pay $100...or even $50 when it goes on sale, and you try to tell me, "It's a great deal!!"

granujja: "wake up call" is a new genre in video games nowadays

VincentPaulS: I just started playing PoE2 and yesterday I made the first microtransaction purchase of my life. Not because I needed fancy stash tabs but because I wanted to support a company that I believe is doing all the things we could ever hope that a studio would do.

stampthelamp: I can't stop playing PoE2. I thought I would put 50-60 hours in and then take a break. Here I am 300 hours in and I just started another character. I haven't had this much fun with a game in a long time. I suck at the trading side of the game, but am trying to get better at understanding it.

MerchGrows: Should I say D4 bad? I feel like i should say it ( INNER MONOLOGUE STRUGGLE)

lance134679: Never get emotionally attached to any game studio. Me as a customer, them as a seller - this is just a business arrangement. And if you haven't been let down by a studio or publisher, you haven't been around long enough.

weertangel7231: A great video as usual :)

What most inpressed me over the years about GGG is a story i once read about a recovering gambling addict wanting to play PoE but seeing it had lootboxes and not wanting to be tempted by them he mailed GGG asking if they could help him somehow, they contacted him the next day saying they locked the Store for him so that he could not get tempted and could just enjoy the game.

Stories like this is why i love and support them, they deserve it 100%.

DreamingCactus: No, the developers are supposed to lecture you and you are supposed to sit there and say: Yes master!

bartoszmisztal6861: If Digital Extremes and Grinding Gear Games had a baby.... it would be a beautiful, glorious, extreme, grindy baby.

dony2852: I was part of the closed and open beta for the first PoE. Like many, I was disappointed with Diablo 3 and its auction house shenanigans so when I got a code I jumped on the chance. Never would I have imagined at the time that it would grow to overshadow Diablo. Such success just shows a herculean level of dedication by Grinding Gears and gross incompetence on the part of Activisioon/Blizzard.

guitaraholic: Fantastic video @legendarydrops !

Just so you know there was a soldom talked about 4th founder who was crucial to the creation of GGG and PoE : Brain Weissman. He met Chris and the guys via MTG forums and had already become a successsful 'professional' MTG player.

He ended up funding the first years of GGG as a studio and allowed them to hire their first developers and come up with the type of game they wanted to make. Weissman apparently also contributed to the ideas around the story, setting and placement but there is little / no information about this online beyond anecdotal evidence.

Eitherway he is a regularly forgotten piece of the puzzle of how GGG came to be in supporting the vision and financially supporting this ragtag group working in Chris' garage to make the game we all love today.

Thought I'd comment and make sure this is known as its an important part of the history we shouldn't forget

Xgamerdad: Western corporatism has gotten out of hand. Gaming corps dont make games for players but for stockholders. They make games to extract money not to make a great product.

22Chad_Reed22: I don't have time to sleep

Rourke-007: When you're customizing your own loot filter, u know u have a problem.

Darkilikill: I don't regret getting the physical rewards. I'm rocking that PoE2 hoodie everywhere I go with pride.

1621lionheart: Game turned into vampire survivors in the endgame almost like poe1. Hope they do it right when it fully released with 12 classes.

joaoffmoraes: Awesome video mate! POE1 vet here, enjoyed a lot of POE2, invested 200h in the game and had a blast on it. Now I'm starting the Warframe path influenced by your videos, knowing that POE2 and POE1 will be there when I go back.

That is another thing that is awesome, we can invest a lot on POE, enjoy the heck out of the league, then go enjoy other games knowing they will have something totally new later. Maybe it will be a banger, maybe it will have several issues, but I don't have any FOMO or bad designs needing my attention all day every day to enjoy the game.

fracturedraptor7846: I actually screamed Let's Goooo to absolutely no one when I rolled on gear what I wanted. In a matter of four days I went from doing about five thousand DPS to nearly twelve thousand. Not because I followed some broken build guide or abused something that's soon to be nerfed. I grabbed nodes that made sense for damage, I saw what boosts my DPS and by how much, and I built around it. My ES, Mana, and DPS is nowhere near what it could be but I'm happy. I accomplished something on my own. I finally have the DPS to kinda do breeches and it's a good feeling. Yeah, I can't screen wide one tap things but I do pretty decent in my eyes. I just have to not get greedy with damage and actually dodge things or pay attention. I really want to push my ES higher so I can grab the Chaos Inoculation node but I can't until then. Drops your HP to 1 and I by no means have the godhood to make that work with how I am now. It'll come eventually. I just have to be patient and farm.

tonylai6702: PoE 2 might be a good game, but its customer support is absolute shite. I see endless videos praising the game, and yet I've been locked out of my account since December 10th, and still awaiting a reply from their support. I haven't seen anything beyond Act 2 up till now. People say "oh they have too many tickets to reply to." That's not my business. If they have too many tickets to handle, they should hire more support. Because to me, GGG just took my money without providing a working product, and not replying to my support tickets. L company.

Agnathor: We are at a point where we as a viewer as forced to say "This is wakeup call for this youtuber to come up with some other word for a video title".

AreYouTriggered24: I do love poe2 but losing Exp on death in the Endgame has made me want to quit so many times. Too many one shots even with defensive builds.

TalkativeTri: You love to see it, so glad you are enjoying PoE2 so much, man!
