you can still play poe1, just do that.
the truth is _I_ like PoE 2 and _I_ am glad it is being made. Other games I play a lot? Dark souls. Elden ring. Things like that. I am very much not into Nightreign. But do I go and piss and cry on reddit or forums or whatever about it? No. I just don't play it. It's not a game for me. That's fine because I'm an adult human with adult emotions. I know that not everything is _for me_.
The exact same argument can be said for you to.
I like PoE1 and I am not glad PoE2 went Dark Souls route. If you want to play Soul-like you can go play Dark Souls and literally 2 dozens Soulikes on the market.
I don't mean to offense, this is just an mirrored example of your argument. And I want you to realize that you're taking a stance and we are also taking a stance. And evidently the game can only cater to one stance.
Telling either to "Go play x" won't help.
One of either stance will have to lose. Such is the current polarizing nature of PoE2 and future for Path of Exile game the moment they decide to split PoE2 into 'it's own game'.
No it's not the same thing at all. This is the game they are making and the game they are marketing to a wider audience. I didn't go on the forums and throw tantrums until they made PoE 2. The game showed up in EA and they had a big marketing campaign with a bunch of soulsbourne creators and I started playing it. So no me playing and enjoying this game is not the same thing as people coming into this forum and constantly crying that they wished the game was actually Path of Exile Remastered.
