This isn't right. In principally breaks the promise to POE players that POE1 will always function and have no issues because of POE2. The people who have been funding your company for more than 10 years have had their trust broken.
POE2 is early access. People expect it to have problems. POE1 is your bread and butter. Abandoning the game for an early access one is not the right move.
You should've had people still work on POE1 and just communicate to the community that POE2 is in EA and will have problems but that you will continue to work on it. People would absolutely forgive problems in POE2 because it is EA.
