Thread: CoH3 Player Retention & Monetization29 Aug 2020, 05:11 AM
If relic wants to sell stuff in future COH games, they should also sell the voice overs from past games. I would certainly pay to have the COH1 tiger voiceover on my COH2 tiger, you could do that with all units, would be fantastic. I fully agree. If CoH3 is to succeed financially we need community focus on this. If not, Sega/Relic may market some shitty MTX that nobody wants except whales. In: Lobby |
Thread: CoH3 Player Retention & Monetization29 Aug 2020, 04:37 AM
Read below interview with Sega Europe Data Scientist, Stanley Wang. Without a doubt, Sega Europe wants to implement this in future CoH games. This is still very relevant to CoH. Here is what one SEGA Europe veteran (Director of Online Technology at SEGA Europe, 11 years with the company) had to say about using Stanley Wang Data Scientist; https://www.linkedin.com/in/francis-hart-1837b311/ Stanley Wang #Kudos You make a huge difference #MakingAnImpact ![]() Francis Hart is former Head of Live Operations and Development (2015-2019). Also involved with CoH's web site development + leaderboards. He likely will be working with Relic's new Director of Live Operations.

Thread: CoH CM promoted to Brand Manager27 Aug 2020, 04:39 AM
Alex Delamaire, the CoH2 brand manager left (again) and joined Blackbird Interactive. Probably not; For whatever reasons SEGA wants two Relic brand managers involved with future CoH games. As the CoH senior brand manager left again (Alex Delamaire) they is re-hiring. Close collaboration with SEGA’s Marketing team; https://archive.vn/bEBl0 In: Lobby |
Thread: CoH World Championship 2020 Confirmed for November!27 Aug 2020, 04:34 AM
Why does SEGA invest so much tournament money into a 7 years old game that doesn't even have a community manager? Microsoft do all the brand/marketing for AoE4 except Alex Delamaire helping them for a year 2017-2018 before leaving. Relic currently only have one brand manager which is Andy (former CoH2 CM). As the CoH senior brand manager left again (Alex Delamaire) they is re-hiring. Close collaboration with SEGA’s Marketing team; https://archive.vn/bEBl0 It's relatively easy to understand why SEGA does this as there are only a few logical conclusions. It's the when, how, and what that is the mystery box: ![]() As to the "how"; As seen in below job announcement Relic hired a Microsoft vet related to CoH in-game economy and post-launch monetization. So maybe that means Relic/SEGA wants to build on the success of CoH2 user generated content (UGC).

Thread: The end of Battlefield & Dice era21 Aug 2020, 05:06 AM
Why did EA/DICE try *SO* *HARD* to sabotage BFV? DICE higher-ups sabotage the entire studio, not just BFV. Don't underestimate the power of narcissistic leadership that will do and say anything to deflect criticism + responsibility. Read the negative Glassdoor reviews and then read again as this is also relevant to many other companies including Relic "Yes man"/cronies/sucks up as that deadweight create two camps within the studio. The employee reviews are detailed and self-explanatory. DICE still has talent but is a ship without a captain/proactive leadership/lack of a clear vision.. As DICE talent is leaving they are being replaced by cronies/sucks ups that is shielding higher ups from reality and deflect criticism. As some DICE employees explains this downward spiral can only be broken with a new DICE leadership until then the ship is doomed. DICE nepotism/cronyism is why the current studio leadership got promoted; https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/DICE-Sweden-Reviews-E598397.htm Cons Recent Relic employee reviews to some extent confirm cronyism and Yes-Men/cronies is a big problem for the entire studio; https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Relic-Entertainment-Reviews-E533032.htm https://www.coh2.org/topic/105425/coh3-failure-new-employee-review *snip* Your Inner Circle: Beware of Suck-Ups and Yes-Men: https://www.forbes.com/sites/work-in-progress/2012/02/28/your-inner-circle-beware-of-suck-ups-and-yes-men/ I hope this help clarify things. Now is not the time to fall into the trap of complacency. Relic is not a cat with 9 lives. If growing pains/deadweight are not dealt with a firm hand the next talent bleed could destroy Relic inside out. I sincerely hope Relic take action and save themselves. Stop supporting cronies. Adapt or die. ![]() In: Other Games |
Thread: CoH CM promoted to Brand Manager19 Aug 2020, 05:21 AM
That's great brand advertising for SEGA. This theory of continued support seems to be backed up by Andy's support of the tourney patch. Relic want competitive coh to continue. I agree and Sega/Relic will likely use that to market a new CoH game. Whatever that is CoH3 or something else we don't know. Also, note Relic hired a Microsoft vet (Chris Casanova) involved with CoH/AoE monetization so that properly means subscription/Xbox Game Pass service for future Relic games. Chris Casanova; former Microsoft and MS owned Mojang Studios (Minecraft):: Director of Live Operations at Relic Entertainment https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-casanova/ At Relic we aspire to make our games and studio feel alive to our players. We do this through building and releasing continually evolving, personal, epic experiences to build deep and lasting relationships with our players. This is a new area for us to embrace so expect to see much more over the coming years. In: Lobby |
