"I worked with these guys once, right at the (relative) beginning of this project, in late 2007. The fourth of the four friends was gone and it was just the three of them and myself in one of their garages. Back then they were a year in and intending to release definitely sometime in 2008. From what I understand/remember their initial funding came from a business Chris had duping Diablo 2 items and selling them online for real money. Questionable ethics aside, they had a real advantage in terms of resource."

Donations? Give me a break dude.

PoE is based on micro transactions to stay alive, just like D3.

It is probably good ol Jay Wilson DDOS'ing PoE since we all know it is the reason he was fired
D3 sucks and you know it lol.

GGG was donated over $2.5 million before it even went into open beta.




Wrong.

Right.

None of which existed in closed.

In closed we had supporter packs. 10,25,50,100,1,000$ i think they were. They gave shop points that allow you to buy cosmetic items and own a kiwi

Are you talking about "donations" they received by selling "closed beta" for over a year for $20 for a "free" game?
