Grinding Gear Games continues to be trucking together with the incredible free-to-play POE Orbs since 2013, refraining from implementing pay-to-win schemes while. It's a paragon in the sea of over-monetized projects, has it's a good Diablo style dungeon crawler makes all the situation even sweeter.

Some everyone is worried, however, that conglomerate Tencent has acquired many stake in Grinding Gear Games, POE Currency's developer. Addressing the problem on their blog, Grinding Gear notes that they may "remain an unbiased company," as well as the "high a higher level autonomy" allowed with the companies Tencent owns a stake in are why they decided to do business with them.

According towards the post, Grinding Gear will always be a New Zealand company, as well as its developers remain on-board. They are "assured" by other CEOs that Tencent won't obstruct the game, but give no assurances particularly other than on the grounds that they have "full control."

The 1st step? Ship a Chinese version of Path of Exile, which Grinding Gear Games notes may get exclusive features at "Tencent's request," which often can make its way into your international edition. While I'm not waving the sore point yet, that's their escape hatch with regards to someday justifying a major new feature.
