I have thousands of hours in the game. It’s one of my all time favorites!

The other commenter is unfortunately (partially) right and PoE is owned by Tencent. I haven’t noticed any quality drop though, I still think they are making a great game. I definitely haven’t spent as much money on it in the last few years though

Oh fuck, is PoE supposed to be free? I’ve spent like $1000 on it in the last 10 years in cosmetics, stash tabs, and character slots.

That’s nearly 30 years. Do you have an extra 0 in there?

I have a few thousand hours in PoE, the last few hundred have been on the Steam Deck.

Honestly, it’s pretty great. Some builds might not work as well though.

Trading is pretty rough though, which is a pretty important part of endgame PoE.

tl;dr: Defederating doesn’t benefit us at all and just makes more users move to Threads, or at least an instance that hasn’t defederated.

Yeah, Mario Odyssey
