I still have a message from Chris Wilson from Nov 8th 2011 saying if I haven't gotten a key by the time the next patch would come out, I could message him again, eventually I got in and started playing in NOV of 2011. 13 years later I have just sent him a message saying thank you and how things change. I was 29 still single in 2011 so excited for the first POE. And now I'm 42 with 2 kids and the same or even more excited for POE2. And my older 8 year old son is ready to join me on POE 2.

POE was the game that got me through college f2p, sans $30 for tabs on my 2nd league. After finishing and starting up my small IT company, I have been a top tier supporter every league. I also take two weeks off each league(except for any major issues that pop up). It's my biggest guilty pleasure. Without GGG and the escape poe provided for free, my mental health wouldn't have allowed my to get through college. I had no joy at the time except when I got on to play. I'm now very content in life and supporting GGG is a no-brainer for me.

I have spent nearly £600 in my 2600 hours in POE 1, I will still be buying the £100 pack for POE early access for a few reasons, first of all is I want to reward good companies and devs like GGG for the quality of product I receive and continue to receive every 3 months, I would also like GGG to continue making POE for a long time to come and that requires funding, secondly I will give the extra keys to my friends who are looking to try POE for the first time, I have no problem paying for microtransactions every 3 months in a free game that gives me thousands of hours of gameplay, these are the type of devs/companies we need to get behind, especially in todays gaming space.

There's nothing wrong with supporting devs if you enjoy the game.

[@Benettor20]

Pohx. I registered an account with GGG back in 2013. Like a lot of people, I tried the game after D3, looked at the passive tree and then immediately logged out. Fast forward to 2023 (I believe at the end of Crucible League), after the disappointment that was D4, I decided to give PoE a real shot. I came across your channel and RF was my first ever proper build. Needless to say, I was hooked. I deeply regret giving Blizzard £90 for the Ultimate Edition, however I enjoyed PoE so much that I decided to buy the $480 at the time to show my support. I was going back and forth with this decision as it's a large sum of money (for us normal people anyway) but it was 100% worth it. Since then, I've been buying one of the quarterly supporter packs and $480 each year. Like yourself, as soon as I watched the EA reveal I immediately bought the $480 without even thinking twice. So thank you, and GGG.

[@markussell9431]

I purchased the 480 pack while watching the stream last week. Doing some simple math, the entertainment I got through this game in 1600h of playing it combined with my lifetime spent is the fraction of what a blockbuster movie costs in a movie theater… and they do much deserve it!

Because of that I got $480 Supporter Pack and if all goes well I would like to continue supporting GGG every year. Looking forward to watching your POE 2 content.

Playing for 4 years. Did my 1st purchase after 1 year of playing. Got the most needed stashes i was able to afford with that "Starter pack" i buy that was 20$. Today im sitting on 120$ total spend. Have more then enough space. 120$ also is 1/4th of current minimum monthly wage here. I dont need anything more technically. But well.. looking forward to get one more small pack soon and use the coins for few more tabs cuz why not. More space and a little appreciation for the nice work around the game.

[@marc-andreblais5818]

seeing that currency in the tab is so nostalgic, i did that for a very long time. at one point, at least 4 rows of my tab were exalts and it became too much to micromanage everything and selling my chromatics every time i had 100 to clear up space, but that took a few years

[@LFPGaming]

the supporter packs are indeed very, very expensive, but you can reasonably get away with spending $60 on the game to buy stash tabs, and then you're pretty much good to go (the game isn't f2p imo, it's p4c). GGG could make it cheaper (and should imo, by about 50%), but the game is still cheaper than D4's monetization and it's WAY WAY cheaper than something like Lost Ark for instance. I bought the $100 pack because it's all that I can spend right now but this game has brought me around 5000hours of gameplay and if you can afford to support a good developer, then you should.

[@aggrael8285]

I am a little confused on why people are so upset on Supporter packs. They are skins and some physical goods. I see supporter packs as GGG giving its players an excuse to give them some money since this is a F2P game. Like I understand that it is a lot of money to ask for however Supporter packs are not DLC or an expansion, you don't need them. It is just GGG saying 'Hey, I know some of you wanna show your support financially and these are just some ways you can do it while we also give you some cool things on the side.' Because of this I really don't see a problem to Supporter packs being as expensive as they are. Side note but I am pretty sure both Chris and Jonathon have both come out and said that they make the most money off of the $480 supporter pack and that helps them continue the game. It might be them just saying that because they like the extra cash flow or it could be an important part to helping them finance this game. Supporter packs are necessary for GGG to continue to make this game the way it is without outside pressures stepping in to force more monetization. I can back that concept completely. Personally I don't see any problem with Supporter packs as they are. I understand that not everyone can get them due to their economic situation BUT POE & PO2 are F2P. You can still enjoy the game and never have to worry.

I started following your channel because of MMOs videos , but more than 5 years ago I started playing PoE because of you 😅 I guess GGG should thank you as well because you probably influenced a lot of people to start playing and some of them, like me, bought more than 3 of those expensive core packs by now 😂

Thank You Pohx. You have made several of my leagues more enjoyable.

Awesome story, I've also been playing for about 10 years at this point, so the hype for POE 2 is huge. I really appreciate that the MTX aren't pay to win. GGG is really leading by example in so many ways.

Happily bought another 100 dollar supporter pack today, even though I already spent more than the 480 dollars earlier needed for early access key. I think I've logged more than 5000 hours in the game so far, and within the next ten years it'll be another 5k hours. That leaves me with about 5 cent per hour of entertainment. GGG has earned that, and more. If I have better finances down the line I'll happily buy more packs simply to support them.

What Pohx said at the begging is big true, treat the game as a demo or trial. I am the most frugal of most frugal people, never buy anything at full price, just super cheap. After about 1000 hours of gametime I finally decided you know what, this is one of the best games I've ever played, I should at least give them the value of a AAA title. So I bought the $60 Sunspire support pack and never regretted it. I admit I did buy a couple of stash tabs before that because playing without maps or currency tab is cancer, but best way I like to equate mtx to normies is a cost per hour breakdown of entertainment. Some might go see a Marvel movie for $20 at the theater and that will be about two hours of entertainment, or $10 per hour. If I spent $100 on a game I've spent 1000 hours in, that means I spent ten cents per hour to have fun. You aren't going to find another hobby on the planet for that level of money.

i have also spent around 1500$ on Supporter packs and usually i hide this kind of info when im with friends but when talking about poe im proud of it, because i bought the packs to support ggg and not for p2w reasons or anything like that. Poe is my favorite game to play with most hours spent ingame and they fully deserve it!

[@jdillerful]

Good video! Couldn't agree more. Went with the $100 pack myself, for the moving hideout, but may yet upgrade it if I get my holiday bonus!

[@xandrunull]

Good on you dude. You're a cool person and I respect this a lot.

[@thetruestar6348]

This happens because people are used to the Fomo slop that AAA games have been pushing. 30$ in stash tabs is perfect and you don’t need anymore

[@esquillo3708]

I bought the 480 too, for the same reason, and i'm not even a content creator. GGG is what every industry should be

[@lookimhere2005]

I did the exact same thing as for purchasing the top supporter pack. I love this game.

[@jesswelargudo9414]

This is a very wholesome video. Thank you Pohx.

[@MindGameArcade]

I was there for your first POE videos, back when Pohx was the trap skills guy, long before he became the RF guy

[@n0mad602]

Supporter packs aside, thanks for sharing that lovely story Pohx, a wholesome way to start my morning, hope you all have a beautiful day!

[@yuukizaki3163]

Thank you GGG for bringing us pohx. I’m just happy that GGG allowed the upgrade of supporter packs. I can save some for 1-2months then upgrade it until I reach the 480$.

I'm just gonna copy what people already said in the comments and pretty much every PoE player already knows. We spend money on this game because we want to, not because we have to. In this age of gaming, that's a damn blessing. $20 to $30 for the essentials or $50 for all stash tabs is a freaking steal. Heck, the last time a new "required" tab came out was years ago. What even was it, Blight? Imagine if they made a stash tab for every league that came out in 3.0. We are lucky, blessed by a game made by gamers for gamers. We cannot understate it and spread that love enough.
