Dear Eleventh Hour Games,

I want to take a moment to express how much I love Last Epoch. Through your game, I’ve made great friends and built lasting relationships. Whenever I need an escape from the real world, I can hop on and lose myself in theorycrafting or simply enjoy blasting through some Monoliths. Last Epoch is the only ARPG I recommend to anyone. I will continue to support it wholeheartedly.

Lately, I’ve noticed some negativity surrounding the game, and I understand that you need to take the community’s feedback seriously. I get that Last Epoch is a business, and it’s important to balance the needs of the players with the financial aspects of development.

However, as I see it, the only way to truly compete is to create more players like me—loyal fans who genuinely love and push your game. Players who jump from one launch to the next, burn through content in two days, call it trash, and move on aren’t offering much value, especially since many don’t even take the time to understand the base mechanics. Half the people want Last Epoch to be like Diablo, and half want it to be like Path of Exile. But I believe you should stay true to your vision, and the right players will come.

I fully understand that you might sometimes feel the need to delay updates to avoid competing with major releases in the genre. But from my perspective, it can be frustrating when the update I’m excited for gets delayed because of a game I have no interest in.

Ultimately, I want you to know that I trust in the direction you’re taking. Release updates on your schedule and continue making your game. The community you’ve built is strong, and I believe it will only grow if you stay true to your vision.

Thank you for all your hard work, and I look forward to seeing what comes next!

Sincerely,
Brau

Thanks Brau, I’m glad to hear you’re on the journey with us. It’s been a crazy one and this being our first game studio and being a bunch of guys from Reddit means we’re bound to make some mistakes but we’re still in it as always to make the best damn ARPG around.

While we would love to just do our own thing and not consider other releases for timings and things like that the facts are that even though we’re still smaller than these titans that I suppose we’re competing with, to run our studio and game is more expensive than ever and we need to release content that is revenue generating at a time where it’s likely so we can keep developing the dream. We’re still figuring it all out but we sincerely appreciate the support from people like you.

Even if it may seem like we’re in the background from time to time just know that we’re developing content faster and better than ever internally to be released!
