While I'm still putting effort in the game, for me the point is that it's all going too slow. In a year, COH2 will look outdated because that's just how the game industry goes. Players will gradually leave because the gaming undustry is giving them too many options.
So as a company, you have to focus on not only maintaining the playerbase ('balance patches') , but also on attracting new players. As the optimization rules out a certain amount of players with laptops and bad systems, you rule out a big percentage of gamers.
Secondly, this game aint ready for serious competition aka Esports, which is extremely important this day. Don't believe it - check out the top games and check their Esport involvement.
So balance patches are cool yeah, but are not enough.
This is ofcours my opinion and you don't have to agree with it
