No...the majority of players do not hate the game

Indeed, the fallacious idea that anyone who hasn't left a review is happy with the game is just poor data analysis.

High grade copium for the extreme minority who troll people by saying the game is in a good place and is being well received.

Also damn, well done on all that financial support for the company, I've noticed a very VERY strong correlation between those who have supported the company trying to help save PoE 2 and the trolls who have absolutely no financial investment trying to derail the game.

If you don't want to see those critical words and GGG is really doing well, then you should be able to find some people who share joy and praise GGG, which will also make me feel happy, but I really find it difficult to find such posts. I can't see the joy of the players.

The extreme minority who enjoy PoE 2 are actively playing it, all 50,000 of them from the initial 580,000 that played at launch.

If I was enjoying a game I sure as hell wouldn't be wasting valuable game time on a forum spreading misinformation!!

Everyone is entitled to give their feedback. $30 is all it takes. Nothing spent over that is relevant to giving feedback, when the company asks for it in a EA game and set the price as they did. There are also plenty of people who have spent thousands, including myself, that would argue that the majority does hate the current state of the game. Objectively and I give examples below.

The retention, feedback, reviews, and even the devs themselves have admitted they messed up, so to say that feedback is trying to derail the game goes against what the devs themselves have said and asked for. Going through and deciding which feedback is relevant is part of the job of a developer and it's not the job of the community to decide which feedback should be heard or to talk down on people so they stop giving their feedback.

If the devs don't want to hear it they can stop it, but the PoE2 community has become real bad about trying to tell other people how to feel about a game or what to say, simply because it doesn't agree with their opinion. Good or bad is completely subjective and to shit on someone for their opinions is weird behavior. Especially for a video game that is still being developed and needs all the help it can get.

lol, talk about delusional.
Those 20% actually made an effort to create a post. Most of them stop playing.

And no, no one hates the game. But they do hate the state it is in now.

I have the impression that you are slightly overinterpreting what is written on Steam. There is that of all the recently posted reviews (~17k), most of them are negative. So we don't know what the "silent" people think about the current state of the game. To assume that they are all satisfied is far-reaching optimism.

Absolutely spot on.

But hey, just because the majority of reviews are negative, and the majority of Forum posts are negative, and the majority of YouTube videos are negative, and the majority of Twitch streamers are negative, and the majority of word of mouth is negative only means that the game is well received and doing great, everyone loves it!

75% of reviews in total are positive. Player retention is better than in most other comparable games.

Current negativity probably a form of political movement.

This troll is here also. So ... what are you here to WIN ?

Only 10 percent of people who enjoy a product will leave a positive review while 60 percent of people who do not enjoy a product will leave a negative review.

poe2 has been vastly more successful then poe1 ever was. there is a small minority of poe1 'vets' who want to see poe1.5 up in arms in the forums trying to blackmail the devs with their wallets to get what they want
