"We were fooling ourselves" Path of Exile 1's next update has been delayed and has no release date, due to Path of Exile 2 taking priority

If you frequent the Path of Exile 2 subreddit, you'll see plenty of screenshots of the in-game chatlog as players share snapshots of witty repartee or bemoan the rampant spambots advertising level boosting and low-price orbs. But earlier this week, redditor N8-97 posted a different sort of chat screenshot: a mea culpa, declaring his guilt over accidentally crushing the hopes of an innocent soul who just wanted to trade for a cool quiver. That poor bastard was one Imagineddy, who quickly became something between a martyr figure for PoE 2 players and a precious little guy who must be protected at all costs...

Elon Musk admits account-boosting on PoE2 and Diablo 4 but says deal with it: 'What would I be apologizing for?'
