That email looks extremely fake... "Rob's role is at risk"...? What? That's not how human professionals talk. You wouldn't announce something like that in a group email - and if you did you wouldn't call him 'Rob'.

Hm, hard to say. In my world, it is not overly uncommon for higher ups to refer to subordinates by their first name nor is an e-mail wide announcement when someone in leadership gets removed for one reason or another. They just don't announce the why (if negative) of it. Either way, it's a shit show at CA.

Exactly. If you are sending a company wide email you wouldn't say someone's 'role was at risk'. Also I thought 40% of CA was going? Why has Rob got an email specifically calling him out...?

At this point they seem to just be screaming for their end and basically just desire it. They are the definition of what it looks like when civilization refuses to change, refuses to evolve, and refuses to do anything other than repeat the same cycle over and over. As a society, the US came very close to falling into just that before hippies began to pop up and forced change to happen at the cost of their own futures and lives.

Juno is a NASA probe used to study Jupiter's clouds, so that is certainly in line with a sci-fi theme. But Juno is also a Roman goddess so maybe they're working on Rome 3? Juno is also a 2007 movie starring Ellen Page, so maybe they're making a game about teenage pregnancy. Given CA's decision making lately I don't think we can rule anything out.

Its standard practice to try rehouse staff during redundancy, i have been though two at this point and you decide are they fired/terminated or redundant. In the case of redundancy they will look for an alternative role within the company, however that depends on if they like Rob or not. If they do not it will be a "bad" role option then a cash out option will be put down to get rid of him. If they like Rob it will end up a match role, one he will be able to do and carry out. Lots of options "IF" he has not been fired, he might return once again in another game or franchise within CA/Sega.

The community collectively exhales, bidding farewell to the reign of a man whose idea of a product launch was more catastrophic than a chariot race gone awry. No longer shall we endure his quirky blend of cruelty and sociopathic decision-making. Rejoice, for the era of unexpected disasters masquerading as 'innovation' has come to an end! As the dust settles, we await the answer to Rome's burning question: Who's up next in this epic game of 'Who Wants to Manage Without Mayhem'? So, let the sunshine in, dear Romans, for a new dawn of hope and, dare I say, sanity, awaits us!

That sounds less that Rob is getting fired but more that they get rid of the position he is in ( maybe due to a SEGA-Mandate ) and they try to find him a new position so he can stay at CA.. ( one that he probably is even less competent in ) which would be in line with the whole "the old guys at CA are are only looking out for each other". So somehow i don't see this as "good" news but more evidence that CA is beyond saving.

Rob is being made redundant , not fired , there are some subtle differences , ‘at risk’ is HR speak meaning the role is in consultation for redundancy. To make someone redundant a period of consultation is required depending on numbers likely with union or elected representatives , this period allows employees to make proposals to save their jobs , (almost never works). After the consultation 30/60 or 90 days , then the redundancy happens. To say he is or has been fired based on those emails would be incorrect , though the outcome his role ceasing to exist is likely , he may leave with a healthy pay out usually dependant on his contract , or he may be re deployed into another roles if both parties agree.

​@@Volound "Fired" suggests his contract was terminated for incompetance in his role, or gross miscoduct. If his role is "at risk" (of redunancy) it is much more likely he was given PILON (pay in lieu of notice) or garden leave (still techniically employeed until the end of collective consultation but told not to come to work.) This usually happens with senior employees, as they are considered a risk to the business once they learn of their reduncancy. Or to suppot your narative , they might have been so sick of him they took they oppotunity to ask him to leave early due to his impending redundancy. It would be risky (but not impossible) to sack someone during their redendancy consultation , as its always a risk to actually sack someone , especailly when they are going anyway and this could leave them open to accusations that they just dont want to pay the redundancy. This is usually a flawed argument though since the cost of the reduncancy is usually paid for (in buget terms) long before the annoncment is made. I appreciate "fired" makes a way more interesting narative and im no fan of CA, but i have worked in HR on far too many redundcnay business cases from both business and union pesepectives and have a good grasp of what is happening here from a legal perspective. I find your videos engaging , but based on the evidence in this video , i would say its unlikely he has been "fired" and much more likely he has been placed on leave pending redudancy , or paid out his redundancy in Liue of his notice. Firing would not be logical in this situation. That being said this is CA and not logical seems to be ther A game, i still find it hard to believe their HR would be that incompetant due to their scope and size.

I do like Warhammer Total War but Total War just downgrade to turn into garbage and microtransaction similar to EA, DLC made look worse and it'll stick like average vanilla games but Mod is so much better, so I don't play the total war but I stop playing in Total War Troy, it's really boring ngl.

Correct. There are many things that the IT department can do to find out who is leaking, and of course CA can go through the avenue of taking people to court for sharing personal information without proper lawful use. Plus, the videos created with this information will be in breach of KZbin's community standards policies too, so i expect this channel will be deleted soon. Harrassment and Cyberbullying, Misinformation, i'm sure there's others too. If anyone was thinking otherwise, there's a video where Volound has put the man's head on a tombstone in the thumbnail, which is immature and disgusting behavior. Games should bring people together, not incite hatred against individuals.

I did not give CA money for every total war game ever made just to have them pivot and go make something else entirely whilst allowing the IP I paid them for get progressively worse. This seems to be happening in almost everything I enjoy. Comic book movies, sci fi, fantasy etc. all things I supported my whole life are now not being made for me. It makes me sick.

Soo unlikly anyone will read this but here goes. I watched my buddy play Troy this weekend and got introduced to this "RTS" thing. It seemed right up my ally and weird I had never heard of it. Obviously hadnt..since i was a lowly console wanna-be gamer. Ya know ?? Anyways, i thought it was weird that he wasnt trying to sell me on something he'd spent 100s of hours on. Soo lowkey i was mad/intrigued. Why was he hesitant to get me into it? This being the same guy I snort random powders up my nose with! Why would HE tell me to do MY research first?? Im sure it has nothing to do with all this corpo greed going on. So I look up some total war reviews on YT like any other lame and next thing ik im down a rabbit hole of buffoonry and turns out this whole genre is a shit show...from AC to Paradox to even Taketwo having their grubby paws in the mix. Ill tell you what boys; from everything ive heard and read the last couple of days about this industry. Why would i pay $60+ for anything new when i can just get Medieval II for $25 and download mods for it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Btw: They did purge the Steam discussion forms of any negative feedback again, banned everyone for a week from posting. hinding behind this: You have been banned from the Total War: WARHAMMER III Hub until 13 Nov @ 9:52am. You were banned by a Total War: WARHAMMER III developer. Reason: "Please do not use these forums to attack anyone, be it members of the community or of the development team.

If I had to guess, he seems like the type of guy who thinks his job/career type is really important. Like an idealist, who will corner you for an hour at a party and talk about how important "brand identity" is and how passionate about it they are because it basically makes the world go round or something. All the while being oblivious to the fact that no one likes them....I'm probably wrong, but at least I can admit it.

The Soviet anti tank dog was real, at first they tried to teach the dogs to place a timed bomb and run (get more use out of em) but they later settled on kamikaze dogs, it was actually rather effective, infact it was so good the Japanese copied it with some several thousand German supplied dogs. And some Iraqi insurgents tried it out too, it didn't really work and the dog was the only casualty (rip to an anti imperialist martyr)
