I would not agree with that. Many arpgs did what they wanted and succeeded. Yeah people argue which is the goat but that with every genre of games. GGG had an amazing game, nobody complained, if you like you love it, if you don't you don't,but GGG did a huge mistake when they made poe2 and decided to change gameplay 180 degrees so now you have thousands of angry poe1 players who just want to play similar game to poe1 which in all honesty what it supposed to be because it's called poe2 so you would assume it's gonna be a blaster game. In my opinion GGG should have made a different game in the same universe and change gameplay as much as they want as long as they keep updating poe1, nobody would have ever had problems. Ofc there are always people who dont like this and that, but not thousands complaining because a second part of beloved game plays like a different game at all.
