"But, does anyone re-play the same campaign over and over again...?"

Every empire player: "SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS!"

[Tomezilla]

Heard about your review on Legend's most recent stream and needed to check it out. Thanks for taking the time to make this scathing review and for being brutally honest on behalf of the Total War community. I hope CA will listen and do better, but at this point we're all so jaded aren't we? Take the $25 I would have spent on this half-assed DLC because I'd say you've put more heart into this video than CA is putting into treating their fans well.

[DPD]

It's amazing how badly CA have dropped the ball on this. They had the warhammer community, a living pile of money who are used to being treated like dirt and managed to lose their confidence. It's not just greed, it's incredible stupidity.

[nathanstruble]

"Does anyone play the same campaign over and over again?" Me: Summon the Elector Counts!!

[dracowar]

So that everyone understands what happening at CA : The main dev team that created the warhammer games, is working on a multiplayer arena shooter called "Hyenas". Only a handful of devs are working on TWW3 now. Literally a single dev on bug fixes, and he's got other responsibilities too.

[lefteris]

For those that say "I have a job so i dont care about 20$", its not what its about. Its about not letting greedy devs enstablish this price as a default.

[Thegrifter]

I agree with this message so much that I want to give you money because of it. Honestly, so many of the points you’ve made can be applied to so many major gaming studios right now. It shouldn’t be too much to ask to just have, you know, good content that works and doesn’t bankrupt you.

[dococ]

I was just like you friend, they were the chosen ones. I bought every single dlc as it came out over the years. Even chaos dwarves. Each person has likely payed hundreds of dollars for these games and expansions, hundreds of thousands have likely paid this much, Shutting it down like they threaten will end them.. I dare them.

[dagewastaken]

I really want to use the Wendigos, but I'm going with the community with this one. Need changes from the development team.

[Scribble]

The changeling is, basically, the Skaven vs. Everyone Else problem from TWW2 all over again

And they're charging for the FLC lord

And they've practically doubled the price cost

And they're full of shit

[kirkcrawford]

Worth noting that SEGA’s stock price has more then doubled since 2019. Company has been making money hand over fist

[SaltyRocksPew]

so, with multiplayer balancing, why don't they just, you know, make seperate values for single and multiplayer. or PVP changes seperate from PVE. Like Elden Ring.

[Pemmont]

You, Sir, have earnt a subscription. I agree 110%, especially in regards to impact of cost of living and how insane CA are to pick *now* as the right time to raise prices.

As a side-note, the part about playing all night to avoid going to bed resonates big time: I used to avoid sleeping until the last possible moment, because my panic disorder was so bad I'd literally fear dying in my sleep. TW: Warhammer was one of the ways I coped, and seeing it turned into what it is today is terrible.

[nagashoes]

Just wanted to add. For the people that make the argument that it's still "a lot of time for that money". But you shouldn't look at it like "price per time" but "price per content". By design Warhammer is made to take a long time. But just because, compared to other titles like the Resident Evil games or Detroit Become human, you can get more time out of it, that itself doesn't justify this price. If that was the deciding factor then any game with replay value or a long gameplay loop would cost more, but they don't.

Even within CA's internal pricing this decision doesn't make sense, even if they account for inflation. It's almost half the price of the base game for nowhere near half the content. Chaos dwarfs were SOMEWHAT understandable, not even them but it was bearable, but this is ridiculous.

[denizseyhan]

It is not about the money little Timmy, it is about sending a message.

[SuperDoggy]

I'll only buy this if it's 75% off, which means never--because CA will never discount it that much, not if their new greedy ethics remain in play. This franchise is "dead" to me. And I'm their cash cow, fanboy audience. It's such a shame that they went the way of EA, Blizzard, etc. They haven't fixed a damn thing in months . They deserve to eat their hats on this one.

[inductivegrunt]

Yeah, I agree with you here. I won't buy the DLC until the price hopefully changes. I really want to use the awesome giant Wendigos, but not enough to pay $25 for the worst DLC in terms of price to content ratio.

[ZachHow]

About five years ago I’d say I saw Rome total war on the App Store. I’ve always wanted to play an rts but I didn’t have a pc so Rome was introduction to the entire genre. I absolutely loved despite never getting fat and I wanted more. After a couple years of saving I got a pc this may and the first game I got was Warhammer lll. Your videos were a big help starting the game along with Zerkovich and Cody and it just pains see CA destroy it.

[SuperDoggy]

We appreciate the honesty, Damneders. Nice job!

[bibby]

Most of the time whenever I hear from the company about how people are harassing the devs... I honestly feel like its people actually harassing the suits and they are just saying that people are harassing the staff and devs so they can stop getting hated on.

Its typically always a tactic they do to get pity or some shit to make the hate go away or to turn the community against itself by making people hate one another regardless of whether they are actually saying anything against the devs.

Mind you, the only time I've seen a whole community turn fully against the corporate fucks was in the Devil May Cry series. Literally turned its community against it entirely overnight.
