CA Please See Reason

[Red Duke]

Let me be clear. I own all 3 Warhammer games. I own all the DLC for W1 and 2. I bought the Chaos Dwarf DLC (not for me but for a friend) and I have defended these games constantly despite each having their own 'review bomb' scandals in the past. However I think this is it for me. I cannot in good conscience support the new DLC and its price. I could defend Chaos Dwarfs on account of it being an entirely new race with new units and mechanics however this, at best, is expansion content for already fleshed out, powerful races. Yet its more expensive than Champions and same price as Chorfs? You're burning through a lot of good will here CA. I hold no ill will towards the devs. I know this isn't you, its 'corporate' wanting to milk the last entry in a trilogy for all its worth. However as a company you need to see reason. You've already burnt the bridge for historical TW. If you burn this one you'll have nothing left. I have seen too many great game companies drive themselves into ruin like this because of 'corporate'. Don't be the next one.

We seem to be of the same sorts. I own more DLC than games and 2 race packs I barely play, I never thought about refunding as it's my way of showing appreciation.

It's not the price alone, its everything else. It's the perfect **** storm CA saw coming but they ignored it. The arguments have been settled in regards to what CA does with their money and the loyalists can't argue the facts. This has brought a lot of CA's dirt to the surface and they brought it on themselves by lying about money.

I have 1000's more hours left to play in WH3 and i can do without buying DLC. Nobody will stop playing, just stop paying. The fact that they're doing this right now in a pivotal moment in CA's expansion shows that we've become the cash-cow and they rely on us too much to a point of simply using us. I probably would have payed for the DLC but from all the companies dealings I've learned about? Nah, i'd rather move on from this franchise.

Wonder if they really where just looking for a reason to pull the plug on wh 3 also, haave seen corps come up with reasons to kill a product before they didn't want to mess around with anymore considering the poor start to this one and making ie free so they milk dlc more freely, and with how this one is shaping up oh papa sega we tried and they didn't want the dlc see thew sells and so on..but who knows

So, to recap - we know this is a tough change for some of our players. We know this may mean some of you wait for future discounts or sales. And we know that this explanation does not make the situation any easier. But it’s important for you to hear from us and we hope that, if nothing else, this helps clarify why this decision has been made.

But they'd be throwing money away unless total war is hurting their ESG score so badly.

When Chaos Dwarf backlash hit, CA put out a statement saying no matter what the game will be supported regardless of DLC sales.
