cluelessmiller as usual, still lying about being a game dev?
100% of all money goes to GGG and development/server upkeep/staff salaries etc until those are all covered, by that point it's just a percentage of their profits that goes to tencent. Why do you care if some of that money which wasn't going back into the game anyway is going to GGG investors rather than into Chris's money pool? Buying from ggg is still supporting PoE. The sheer cluelessness and salt of 'fans' of this game is going to be what does the most harm to the game. Lower income will mean they'll either have to expand monetization methods or cut down on funding for the development cycle to ensure tencent still get their dues. Either outcome is bad, and neither would be to the fault of tencent.

They pretty much just want to publish PoE in china, getting a juicy cut of their international profits is a side priority.

t. i have played a copious amount of f2p games before and after tencent acquisitions and they never do a damn thing to change them. If shit goes bad it would have gone down the same way with or without them.

and PoE still has at least a few years to go before it starts nosediving by its own fault.

you've likely never even had any irs taxable income so I don't know why you're worried where your dad's money is going

Huh? My point is some of the money is technically going towards a chinese megacorp, and not to the pockets of GGG. Yes, people will still buy supporter packs, etc. However, a lot of people believed in the whole "independent game studio" thing, and were more than happy to support them. Now, not so much.

Not like it's going to really affect anything though cause their playerbase is yuuggee. But just saying it is a slap in the face towards those kinds of supporters.

Those type of supporters can't fund a full company especially growth past a certain point.

P.s I am one of those supporters, and it doesn't matter to me.

GGG wouldn't even be where it is today without those supporters.

Did you read the part about growth?

They must have hit a plateau, and if funding isn't good enough to keep you growing then you have few very options.

considering they got 80 freakin' percent i would say chris and co. are about ready to hop off this wild ride and work on something new.
they can, now...
