Can you please remove me from this post or change the wording surrounding it? You've made it out like I've officially confirmed something because I was an employee of Creative Assembly.
This was my point about the whole glassdoor thing. I have never worked someplace where everyone was happy. Someone is always upset about "how things run". So you cant put much stock in it. Its fun to speculate though

Amis photo has me wondering. Has Relic ever tried to monetize the players? It would be tricky but I can see 1000's of VonIvan t-shirts being sold. LuvNest gas mask logo only on black T? These guys are literal stars and Relic could be pushing them in some way and making a profit at the same time. Growing the hype and fan base as opposed to pissing everyone off with DLC commanders etc. Then they get in bed with mice and keyboard manufacturers?
Also, I need to dig in deeper to the COH2 history. Amis photos made it look like Relic had their shit in order when the visit occurred. There were banners and PCs so the guys could play, etc. As opposed to so many of the Relic events I have seen recently where it looks like no one even bothered to get ready or gave two shits. What was 1st for me? War Paint where Stormless interviewed DevM and Jesulin with like a headset for a mic and they passed it back and forth. I remember going.."Really, I have about 24 mics, 4 mixers, 3 compressors, etc at my house right now. WTF?"
So was relic always half-assed and unprepared or is that a recent thing?
