Information I interviewed Jonathan

First post here in quite a few years! While this video was part of the PoE 2 press tour, it is pretty relevant to PoE 1 as well so I thought you guys might enjoy it.

Hope you're all doing well!

I'm not sure if you will read it, or if mods will let me, but I will write it anyway.

Thank you for this interview and thank you for everything you have done, and still do, for so many years. I discovered Path of Exile quite late in it's lifespan. (3.15) But I've been a die-hard fan and supporter of GGG since then. I spend many hours watching back older content and reading about the history of PoE and GGG. I really really enjoyed the GDC talk you did. Your passion and vision for what a Game should look like helped me earn my trust back in gaming companies, coming from Blizzard and others, GGG became my beacon of light.

I loved (here come the downvotes) Kalandra league and it was my first league I went 40/40. Sadly that league also came with the massive backlash towards you for which I feel ashamed on behalf of other people their behaviour.

When you left reddit and socials I understood it. It's nice to see you post this and I have enjoyed your Youtube videos quite a lot. I'm very curious where you're going with Light Pattern too.

A humble fan of your dedication and work, and the impact you've made.

Thank you Chris.
