"We see the confusion, the frustration, and the distrust of us across the community and honestly, it breaks our hearts. "

Sounds like they realized they're fucked and are trying to latch onto current revenue streams, fearing (or knowing) that whatever new title they produce will bomb. Apology is too vague to be genuine, limiting itself to apologizing for "missteps" and "mistakes" without naming any save perhaps the Shadows of Change DLC, which they seem to have latched on even though that was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Attempts at buying goodwill by partially refunding pharaoh (probably pretty cheap given that almost nobody bought that shit, lmao) followed by promises to "listen," yeah right.

On a positive note, they're fleeing to WH3 (as their last well-selling title) to save them, so we might actually see that game get fixed somewhat, hopefully.

What's the positive in that, Shithammer is worse than Pharaoh.

Good thing I paid exactly 0 bucks for any DLC

Can you explain obtaining DLC files after each patch?

 

[Space Satan]

It is literally this

They are patching the game a lot nowadays, even fixing some old bugs and new bugs they just created. Quite impressive actually and sad. Only if they've done this from the start.

They have to look productive for investors because they just wasted a ton of money on a game that amounted to literally nothing.

So dead, oh man.

Apparently, Golden Knight legendary hero is coming for Kislev (as a part of last DLC "free major update") - as well as some additional mechanics and - if all the leakers are right - more units and generic lords/heroes(hag lords?)
So, as Tzeentch did get a legendary hero in form of Blue Scribes (and Aekold Helbrass little bit before that) - it seems that Cathay will get one too.

CA also said that all DLC's from that point onward will get at least as much content in them, which is good news I suppose? Thing is, I'd trade all of those legendary heroes for more legendary lords (especially for Empire) and I'm not alone on that front.

table scraps from ca:

Back in the lands of Total War: WARHAMMER III, we’re just starting to put the finishing touches on our next Hotfix release, which we’d like to get out to you within the next two weeks.

We’re largely expecting that this will be the only Hotfix that we’ll release before we reach Patch 4.2 in February, so not long to go now before you see those additions to Shadows of Change! Patch 4.2 is where you can expect to see the results of our work to ensure our DLC’s meet your expectations through the introduction of even more content, alongside changes and improvements to the base game itself.

Shortly after we get the Hotfix out, you’ll start to hear directly from Game Director Richard Aldridge on what Patch 4.2 is bringing, and how we’ve approached each of Shadow of Change’s main factions in a series of blogs that covers this new content in much more detail.

They are going to run themselves into the ground ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

what the fuck do they mean the files no longer exist... was there a great purge in anticipation of Hyenas' global takeover?

I think they mean that the files to make the model got deleted, but the end result is still in the game (it was just hidden because of a bug).

Still pretty dumb.

They can remake Pharaoh. Imagine if they make it in earlier period racist and totally nasty. Yea. And without Denuvo. They might get some of their player base back.

And it took five bloody minutes, probably shorter than the time CAs respond message...

Usually, I would say it is impossible in this day and age to not use version control software for game assets.
But with CA, nothing would surprise me anymore.
They might just work on some shared network drive on an old Windows Vista machine, someone poured coffee over it and now the file is gone.



More realistically, though, the guy who answered that question is some Community/PR peon who doesn't really have a clue and just has to scramble blindly when answering questions.

More apologetic than the actual CA apology letters, tbh.

Dear John Johnson Community Manager,

I wouldn't know where to even begin. I can't think of 1 positive thing to say about your company when taking into account the last decade. Transfer whatever resources and software you have left over to the CA Sofia team and quietly kill the main branch of the company.

Sincerely,
Lacrymas
