This is one of those cases where we just have to let it go and let it die. As unfortunate as it is, a lot of household names (aka Dev studios) that we have enjoyed for decades are not what they used to be. Best thing we can hope for is that devs can leave and form their own self-sufficient studios without the need for these vulture-like execs looking to make a quick buck. That's what made gaming back in the day (2000's era) - passionate devs who's only goal is to visualize something they love and cherish then share with the rest of us.

The solution does not lie with Creative Assembly. The solution is for those honest devs to get new jobs elsewhere.

@@me67galaxylife Finding a better job within the game design industry, especially in the UK (where CA's headquarters are based), is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Most of these developers are most likely stuck with working for CA for quite a long while due to how fragile job security is within the industry, especially if they're as inexperienced as you claim they are. The UK is also currently fast approaching a great economic slump, with the cost of living greatly increasing and wages only fractionally following suit. The HQ is based in Horsham, which is quite close to London, and as such the standard of living is going to be a lot more expensive than most places in the UK. So I'm sorry to say but these developers do most likely have a starving family to feed. The best case scenario WOULD be for them to move on, but there are so many factors that play into this equation it's near impossible.

At least warhammer is an authentic tabletop experience, everything else was a reskin.

I actually have a friend who worked in the studio that is responsible for Pharaoh and the things he told me, bro, like you would not believe how crazy it is over there. One example he gave me was about finding some exploits and he was like "Yeah guys I found a bug" and his words to me were "I just thought it was so damn stupid that I reported it right." Well, he goes over and reports it, and he ends up getting scolded by management because it turns out it was very much intentional and it was not a bug but a 'feature' lol. Also, he made it very clear. They 100% know their games suck, the people working on these games are aware they suck, they know it and they don't care. The way he described it was kinda like "You just go to work on Monday and get paid" that is it, no one cares all right. It is not this studio of passionate people who can't wait to develop the next game, not at all.

​​@@Lagmaster33I would argue that Rome 2 still had a lot of love in it. The game I remember as the one triggering this behaviour is Atilla. Literally just a dlc game of Rome 2 which was made to just sell on a higher price. The game is horribly unbalanced, the lighting is horrible, the campaign is horrible, the sieges are horrible, the units are uninteresting and and so much more. They have it in their heads that making a game for a year, sell it for quick cash and then stop all support for it is the way to go. They literally have not tried any new multiplayer mechanic in 10 years if you ask me. The removed more mechanics than they add. Like imagine Napoleon 2 has a less buggy more interesting Naval battle than thrones of Britannia. Then banning community members and removing the chat function from the older games adds to it. Apollo is 100% just step away from the franchise. We all need to accept that strategy games are a thing of the past, because the industry is so uncreative and unimagineative and they dont care if their games are fun or good.

I didn't mind them much because I was playing the same old Napoleon all the time. The multiplayer community of that game was strong and united like a family with active games and new people joining even more than 14 years after its launch. Then recently, out of the blue, they removed the lobby and in game chat and completely killed the experience (in my opinion). The old community adapted with steam group chats and so on, but it completely destroyed the newcomers since you couldn't explain specific game rules or planning and executing team play during battles. And more importantly, the chat banter, which was half of the reason that game was so fun to play.

It is perfectly normal for companies to start reacting only when their bank accounts are being hurt : this is the very definition of "business relationship".

Video game corporations are a bunch of thieves. DLCs ​​policy is an example of this: charging a lot of money for an incomplete game that then requires countless purchases to make it entertaining to play.

LOVED your criticism. You are the first one I saw as of yet that had a truly common sense opinion, everybody else always, stupidly imo, try to be optimistic around these kind of subject, maybe trying to avoid making a hateful or bummer of a video that wouldn't attract many views, but idk. I'm just tired of this silly optimism and seemed endless hope people have around the game industry as a whole, forgetting or choosing to forget that this kind of behavior from big companies leadership, and ignorance from our part as a consumer, that brought us where we are now. I'm fucking tired of these scumbags trying to make a fool of everybody, just to back down to the obvious least acceptable behavior when, and only when, it backfires. I'm tired of half-assed apologies like these, and incredulous of how people still just take it as a good thing. The truth is that they deserve, and in my eyes should, get fucked for trying to be assholes like this, and its gonna take more than a bare minimum, and obvious damage control stunt, to make up to the things they've done all these years. But at the bottom line its just refreshing to see some skepticism and good awareness of someone else. Cudos, for you and everyone else that shares this opinion.
