Yeah... still not a delay. Internally deciding to make a bigger game, having not announced a release date should be commended, not derided.

GGG has left poe to rot for the past 5 years while they've been creating a game for a new audience and misleading their current players in their intentions. They certainly won't be commended by me.

It's a >10 year old game with thousands of hours of content. It hasn't been left to rot, it's retired... Gods you are a spoilt brat.

Plenty of old live service games see active development like world of warcraft. I'll remind you that you don't know me, so please keep your projections to yourself if you want to keep arguing.
