      no multiple people whispered and told him this when he started streaming it because the messages started flooding in immediately (lmao) but he literally said something to the effect of “smuglord heh heh i’ll do that if it starts getting bad but its funny right now” lmao.

      for example: https://youtu.be/OqhRO6ICvok?t=383 this was like the first time he brought it up but if you can bear his awful music taste for like 5 or so more minutes as less wanna-be racist sycophants are whispering him and get drowned out by people asking him to die/calling him dumb as shit, he brings it up again and plays it off as if he finds them amusing. anyways 0/10 monk gameplay i have literally a total of 26 hours in PoE and PoE2 but GODDAMN THATS NOT HOW LIGHTNING ROD WORKS ELON JRGJJFHDHJSGBDHGDHJA anyways watching him die to the Miller was very funny lol

              they sell stash tabs which aren’t technically required but end up being necessary in practice.

              they also force you to see other people and their mtx in town which can cause issues because the mtx used to constantly get flashier and more obtuse.

              subscriptions, no

              microtransactions yes, the stash tabs that are pretty much mandatory are in order of importance: currency, maps, fragments —> everything else

              most value for money are the bundles where you get some fancy full mtx and a lot of ingame currency

              the worst part about their mtx stuff is that all the league bundles and season passes are heavily based on FOMO

              Like others have said, you don’t need a subscription or anything. I personally haven’t paid a dime for anything in POE1 or 2. (I actually got a key for PoE2 by randomly playing PoE1 at like 4am a few months ago and happening to see someone shouting out keys in server chat & decided to try redeeming it and to my surprise it worked but like REEEEvolution said - PoE2 is in early access right now so 99% of people are gonna have to buy it)

              MTX is debatable - I personally don’t have any stash tabs on PoE2 but I can see why anyone who is playing more than like 20-30 minutes here and there (or doing like hardcore) would want to spend the $15-20 on a bunch of stash tabs for maps, fragments, trading etc. They aren’t really needed for the campaign though imo. Would definitely recommend at the very least just downloading PoE1 and playing the campaign if you want to try it out - it is free.
