So, about Relic Entertainment and World's Edge?! More like World's Procrastinators.
First of all, the Steam/MS storefront hasn’t been updated with an explanation of what the heck deluxe edition contains, in detail. Still. I mean, c’mon. Some of us know what those deluxe edition items are because we watch your streams and then we told as many people as we could in the forums. But, here is the deal- we are not your interns, who are ready to explain things. We are your customers. Kindly update your store pages!

Next, I think the World’s Edge needs to start actively engage on genuine topics such as regional pricing, or topics that ask hard questions such as bad animations. Otherwise, expect the same repetitive “OoHh graefics r baid nd i8 es n8 sisti dolares gayme papi” topics. Forum moderators can only do so much, you have to provide clarity by providing announcements. Just because some of us have a cover art of AoE games don’t pretend we are your radical fanatics. We like some of your products. That’s all.

Finally, Relic entertainment is moving on to its next project. They gonna tease something (probably CoH 3) tomorrow at 1 PM EDT. As far as I know, they have about 300 employees. This game is not even out yet. There is no news about a public beta. So care to explain who the heck gonna take care of the leftover work (I know the game is finished, but I sure know it ain’t fully polished yet). And who’s gonna maintain the game post-launch?! Even if they get help from SEGA, Relic still be 3/4 focusing on their next project (even though I think their next project was probably under construction alongside AoE 4). So is it Forgotten Empires, World’s Edge, or some other company to who you gonna give 5-years of a contract?! Please clarify.

Such a shame you guys are not communicating. Supposed to be an AoE franchise caretaker, eh?! Then start acting like one World’s Edge.

Yeah, the communication of crucial information is too spread out. Lots of the common concerns here have been cleared up in the streams, but not anywhere else.

It's normal, at least in larger teams, that part of the team shift to the next project before the current one is finished. You don't need everyone equally in every phase of development. You don't need all your concept artists this shortly before release, for example, and you have little need of animators for maintenance after release.

It's a bit like construction work: Once the foundation is done, the people who do that can go on to lay the foundation for the next building.

You finally accept the Dark Side, apprentice.

Thank you dude. See, again we are answering questions and concerns of somebody. This type of thing should have been clearly stated in the twitter or posted as an announcement. But nope they are hiding information as if they are guarding worlds most secret thing. Still have faith in the game, but at least do your job properly.

Content of digital deluxe edition has been visible since game went to pre-order. Which of contents you need more information?

Visible ≠ explained. He asked several times what are coat of arms and monument, to no avail.

No no....not the content. But the explanation/description of what those items are. I know what those items are because I have seen the streams. It would be better if they can update the store page too so people don't have to do publishers job.
