Talk:Path of Exile 2

Elon Musk

I don't believe this "controversy" is important enough on the topic of PoE2 to mention it as it's own headline. Just because sources exist doesn't mean it has to be mentioned here. People come here to learn about the game, the "controversy" doesn't have anything particularly to do with PoE2 even, it just happened while playing this game. There was also some uproar around Elon sucking at playing Elden ring, but that's not mentioned on Elden Ring. (just as a comparison of importance, not WP:OTHERSTUFF)

If Elon Musks page wasn't already a bloated mess, it would better fit (in a sub-page) of that.

Perhaps an argument could be made for putting it in a Trivia section, but I don't believe it needs its own header.

Why do you think it should be added @Sunuraju ?

Also I would love input from others.

I think this game is hardly notable without the controversy, and that the controversy is likely to be the most notable thing to happen in the game's entire lifecycle. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) ^{please always ping!} 17:10, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

PoE2 is notable simply for being the sequel to PoE, as per WP:NVG. I still don't think it should have it's own section as per the previous version (and another editor apparently agreed with me).

The hack

I think it's worth mentioning:
