Battlefleet Gothic Armada 3

[Paladin]

I love 1, 2 is all right. The HUD is sketchy, the story and content AMAZING! I also love references from the 1st Gothic Armada (I mean this is a continuation...). When 3? Come on. Work and release 3 :D

Thank you <3

For the kind of money Games Workshop makes, there is no reason that 2 still hasn't been patched for modern processors. 3 will just become broken and unmaintained too.

Games Workshop doesn't develop or publish video games, they just own the IP that the games license.


But yes, becoming unmaintained is the normal end state of video games.

EDIT: I'm not sure if the developers of BFGA/BFGA2 are still a going concern - their web site is up but has no listed projects and no news since Aliens: Dark Descent launched.

Semantics, and Games Workshop still put their logo on it. Be like saying a GMC isn't a GMC because some numbered company makes the windshields.

You pay for something that advertises itself as a functional product, you better get a functional product. Nowhere on the store page does it say the game is broken and unmaintained.

And no way is it "normal" for games to go unmaintained. I've got games from 2005 from much smaller studios still being updated for modern processors.

yes, and that's why you must read about a game, according to the gamers's experience, before buying it. (Not saying that the devolper isn't wrong btw)

No, this is not a Games Workshop product. That's not wordplay, that's the reality. They didn't make it, they don't own it, and they probably are both not even permitted to update it and not in possession of the source code. Your argument is nonsense, by that logic the game engine provider is also responsible.

Game works fine for me, but if you have a beef about it being sold to you, you probably should be complaining to Steam about it - they're the ones who have the storefront. And are actually in business.

It's utterly normal for games to go unmaintained. It's not abnormal for them to get occasional maintenance updates far past the end of any substantive development provided their developer is still active. You may have missed the memo somewhere, but it's also utterly normal for businesses to stop existing, and cease all operations. I dunno if Tindalos Interactive is there, but it does look likely.

It's pretty abnormal for that to actually be a problem, because the hardware and operating systems are supposed to be pretty backward compatible, but sometimes they ♥♥♥♥ that up.


Okay, actually, they updated the thing in September, so...what are you even on about? I guess somebody is still at the wheel, or was not very long ago. Good on them.

If you went to the store page right now, the very first thing you see in the previews is the Games Workshop logo. So to say GW has no involvement is some serious gaslighting.

They clearly accepted that this product represents their brand.

Steam isn't responsible for the workmanship of devs. Devs are responsible for making sure their store page is accurate. Steam's User agreement says as much.

So Games Workshop and their little subcontractor aren't portraying an accurate representation of what this product is. System requirements don't say anything about having trouble with modern CPUs, but the game clearly does for most people.

I envision a DOW 1 DC (bases & defenses of conquered land are saved) with Armada 2 Universe, Soul Storm planetary take over, and Space Marine 2 interjection (aka jump into FPS anytime, space or ground, objectives per intent, do or fail, PC computes losses).

Games Workshop does not make videogames. They offer the license to developers who DO make videogames. This is like calling up the Tolkien estate and saying that Battle for Middle-Earth I doesn't work on your PC so they need to fix it.

Sure. But contractors are responsible for the work of their subcontractors. GW's logo is all over this, so they clearly accepted the workmanship.

Its more like saying a car manufacturer isn't responsible for their vehicle's brakes not working because some numbered company makes the break lines.

You put you brand on it, you accept how it portrays you.

Not.. Really? Firstly, again, it's pretty much just a company phoning up Games Workshop and saying "Aye, we'd like to make a videogame set in the world you created, howsabout you sell us a license to do that?", GW's involvement largely begins with taking the cash if they like the concept, and ends with making sure that the game fits the story GW created, and that's about it. GW is not even remotely involved in the actual making or maintenance of the games generally speaking. This isn't a case of old LucasArts producing the Star Wars games while the parent company of Lucasfilm held the rights to them and as such was at least somewhat more involved.

Secondly, there's not a game on this planet that is going to have guaranteed support literally forever. In fact, there is not a product, of any kind, that will have a "Guaranteed maintenance, literally forever, at no added cost whatsoever" clause.

Then they can update the store page to say the game struggles with modern processors, or remove it from the store altogether. Instead of the false advertising that is there now with the required specs.

Either way, GW accepted how it makes their brand look. Letting something rot, instead of taking it down like they did with other titles once they got too old. Ie, Space Hulk (2013).

If its so simple, then why no patch for something advertising itself as a complete and functional product?

Also doesn't work for everyone.
