Hyenas budget was 90 Million USD

[Danny]

Those 90 Million came from Warhammer as well from the historical TW titles, just imagine what that money could have done for this franchise and the other total war games.

For a start it could have been used to finish 3K and fix WH3...

Been known for a year at least, people been in denial.

Thats what happens some buissnes f**** comes along with "good new ideas" but no clue about games... sitting at the round table demanding other directions for the sake of making more money (because it is never enough).. all the hard working slaves getting dumped and fired while that f**** runns arround in his suit beliving he is some kind of super brain or something and somehow has the right to earn much more money than all the brave ants working on the products.

I guess You don´t need 90 millions to have it that way, that if You have multiple heroes with the same army effect - that the game chooses the one with the highest skill in it, instead of the lowest. This way all of them need the three skill points in there to have the benefit of it. Usually i don´t use multiple heroes, but somehow vampire counts are built around them. I tried everything from having them first in it, last in it - it defaults back to lowest skill in the next turn, which i saw by luck...

And You don´t need 90 millions to have at least one guy who says that raising the skill cap to 50 is perhaps a bad idea, when some people only have around 40 skills.

If they invested that money in people who are that good - sooner or later Sega would intervene, even if Sega probably also doesn´t care about gameplay features - but one doesn´t need to be a gamer, to see that not the best people are working at CA.

So i guess no matter how much money CA has, they´re not really good in what they should do, don´t seem to have much plan what to do - are probably bad at communicating with each other, so how to do it with the community if that fails beforehand - and i don´t think they´re well organized, as You wouldn´t have some of these obvious and simple things in there.

Wait are you telling me the budget used for new games largely comes from earnings from previous games?
Who would have known.

its almost like a business use the profit/earnings from older products to fund their new products.

I guess the budget in case of CA comes from Sega, and these people distribute money, gains and losses, that way, that it´s most beneficial for the corporation, and the payment of taxes, as that is useless as it gives nothing in return. Better do a donation to a political party, or lobby organisation, to have nice laws. This is better spent money.

Imagine if they fixed/finished their profitable products before allocating resources somewhere else

It feels like misappropriation to me, and Fraud.

You can't take money for one thing in business, and use it for a different purpose. That's fraud, and it should be looked into.

Why work hard and make a good game when you can cash in on the latest fad of the week (5 years late)?

Yes profits go to new things. Do you just think you're paying for your pizza and not resources for other peoples pizzas?

its not really defending.. its just facts.

companies use profit from 1 product to fund the next. How else you think companies can keep making new stuff? money coming out of thin air?

ofc i do agree the money should have spent on other stuff thats not hyenna.

Not surprisingly, SEGA has experience in success and failure, even they wasted millions on experiments.

[peremptor]

So WTF they trying to make a go at the team arena multiplayer FPS field? Seems insane it's not like its in their wheelhouse. Guess I'll go check into this for a laugh or two...

Shame it might mean they don't properly end the Warhammer trilogy though but alas... if CA moves on we should to.
