I understand the sentiment from SturmtigerCobra and Rosbone. Judging by their post history and shoutbox entries everyone gets it - both of you are (to say the least) dissapointed and might even be downright 'hurt' by what's happening at Relic and ultimately translated into CoH3 and CoH2. But the reality of the situation much more fits what Fantomasas says. comapnies believe there is more money to be gathered from mobile gaming.
The only game I play is Coh2. I don't care about anything else Relic/Sega do. When I make posts about COH3 failing it is from a place of sadness.
During my time playing Coh2 it became apparent Relic management were morons. Every interaction with Relic = incompetence. Knowing that anyone on this site could do 10x better job than the management at Relic is disturbing and annoying.
All of my hate for Relic is at the management level. Any individuals I have any knowledge of at Relic's lower levels has done a great job in general. A few missteps by a couple of course, no one is perfect.
No one is more happy than I am when community members get jobs with Relic. I know they have the passion and desire to make COH great.
In my mind the COH series is the perfect RTS game. The only reason there are not 10x more players is Relic management. COH3 should have been an amazing release that brought the community to new levels. You only get one shot at it. And in typical Relic fashion, they tripped over their dicks, fell face first into a puddle of gas, and then rolled into a fire. They could not have done a worse job.
Further proof of this today. The balance stream today was run by community members. It was insightful and informative. They acknowledged things that were overlooked in the balance and laid out how they were going to rectify it over time. No stupid public relations nothing speech you would get from the morons at the top. 10/10.
I really feel Relic has the talent to make great games, they just lack the leadership. What should we as consumers/players do to enact a change in leadership at Relic?
1) Dont give Relic money.
2) Bitch and moan as often as possible.
What will change if we don't?
