At no point have I said you’re not allowed to feel upset. I admit I got curt with my last comment, but my points still stand - that in order to voice your disappointment, you’ve not only pulled in arguments about how the devs are lying (because they’ve moved back their initial plan of February, and then communicated that), but also arguments about whether POE2 ‘deserves’ to be called Path of Exile, treated the game like it’s stealing valour, and talked about how anyone who doesn’t see things the way you see things are at best ill-informed and at worst ignorant about their own tastes. I haven’t said anything about whether it’s allowed to be your favourite game, nor have I said anything to ‘police’ how you feel beyond pointing out that while I understand being upset, maybe it’s worth at least examining why all these peripheral points about other players comes into this for you.

It really follows the same line of thinking that seems to have become prevalent once again in the gamer space, that any time not spent on my particular thing is actively harmful to the thing I like - and not to put words into your mouth, but it really does feel like the end goal of an argument as presented here is that all the people who currently like POE2 decide one day ‘oh POE2 isn’t good’, all move back to POE1, and GGG falls over and relents and POE2 is treated like some bad dream - which is also why I believe it’s very ‘Customer is always right’ thinking. No other type of media gets this much push back or draws this much ire should something change between announcement and release, let alone a change that feels entirely reasonable, even if disappointing.
