Today that have announced that Chinese publisher and all-round mega-company Tencent\u00a0has acquired a majority stake in Grinding Gear Games.<\/p>\n<p>According to GGG\u2019s CEO Chris Wilson, this latest move will not impact the way in which the game operated or the company is run. The company will still be independently run by the current team with the change being that they have financial reporting obligations to Tencent. They say there will be \u201cminimal impact on our philosophy and operations\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>GGG stresses that they will have \u201cretain full control of Path of Exile and will only make changes that we feel are best for the game\u201d. This means there will be no change to the monetisation on their international servers and will not be pay to win. Tencent may requestr changes to the Chinese version and GGG says that if any of these changes are a good fit for the international servers they may get rolled out.<\/p>\n<p>GGG will be focusing on developing more Path of Exile and say they are \u201ccommitted to our current schedule of four releases per year\u201d and there are \u201creally big plans\u201d for future expansions.<\/p>\n<p>CEO Chris Wilson added, \u201cIf you like what we\u2019ve done so far, you\u2019ll love what we\u2019re working on next. As well as multiple 3.x expansions in 2018 and 2019, we\u2019ve just started development of 4.0.0, which is currently targeted to enter Beta testing in early 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Zealand based Grinding Gear Games has had great success with their ARPG Path of Exile thanks to their no pay to win monetisation policy and regular content updates.
