Path of Exile boss is nervous: "I will not run this company in that way."

In a frank post from Reddit, Chris Wilson, co-founder of Grinding Gear Games, wrote about the workload of the Path of Exile studio, a disappointing comprehensive alliance, and how he didn't let the team get into trouble just to supplement it. More improvements and fixes.
“Some studios have their team work 14 hours to patch, which also includes some improvements. In fact, sometimes when we read our own Patch Notes thread and community feedback, we felt we were asked to do the same thing. I will not run this company like that."
Wilson admits that it is necessary to have some optional overtime pay near the league update, but most of the development cycle will give the team a "good work and life balance." He explained that the result is that some improvements take longer. In fact, it is as necessary and efficient as the player needs POE Items in the game.
The theme of austerity is not just because it is something more openly discussed by various studios and individual gamers; Grinding Gear Games has a very complete plate and a daunting timetable.
A comprehensive observation of the work that has been completed this time does not meet the expectations of the studio. Although it has improved since its launch, Wilson decided that the next update will not be merged into the core game and will be announced in the next three weeks.
This updated 3.7.0 will introduce a new alliance with a focus on "repeatable fun" and updated melee combat. This is the focus of the team's current update, with the goal of identifying the basic content as early as possible in the development cycle. Then there is the super extension of 4.0.0, which takes up most of the Grinding Gear. Wilson explained that this is an important update. However, players don't have to worry, this update will not involve their original POE Currency, and will not become less or lose their effect.
In addition, there will be an ExileCon conference to be launched later this year. The news about 4.0.0 will be announced here to launch the game in Korea.
“All of these areas, from the final version of 3.7.0 to 4.0.0, will make a massive and lasting fundamental improvement to Path of Exile,” adds Wilson. But not at the expense of the health of the team.
Although the player has been criticizing the synthesis, Reddit's response to Wilson's post is very supportive.
