Path Of Exile 2 Is Throwing A Wrench Into Updates For PoE 1--"We Were Fooling Ourselves"

Grinding Gear Games announced that work on the next season of Path of Exile (PoE 1) is suspended until Path of Exile 2 reaches a stable state. Game director Jonathan Rogers explained the decision was made following a delay in the early access release of PoE 2, which forced the original PoE team to prioritize the sequel’s issues over further updates for the first game. Rogers acknowledged the miscalculation in allowing the PoE 1 team to focus on PoE 2, stating their primary goal is to ensure player satisfaction in PoE 2 before moving forward with new content for PoE 1.

How could we think about making a PoE 1 expansion, when we still had hundreds of thousands of people having bad experiences in PoE 2?

I'm really sorry for how this went down. Honestly, I should have predicted the fact that taking the PoE 1 team off PoE 1 would lead to this outcome.
