I still browse and use these forums. BUT, I bought M2TW to add to every other TW title before that that I bought as soon as they came out and will not be adding another to my library.
TW games are now a

that cater to your eyes rather than your brain in my opinion anyway. SecuRom is another reason not to buy too, I feel ripped off by CA as they enticed me into the TW series with games of depth only to leave me with shallow, graphically intensive teenage games that also infest my PC.

Happy that the kids have more money to spend than me, just wait until this isn't the fashion any more and you have lost the diehards like me already. Where is your fanbase then?

Sorry for the rant. But it's been a while.

I appreciate where the frustration comes from, but I'm begging you to word it a bit more tactfully.

You can say everything you just said, openly, and people will respect you for it, but you must do it more diplomatically. Logically speaking, it's the same thing, but people are emotional creatures, I am afraid. Please consider the feelings of the people who worked on it, in spite of some upper management bad decisions, the games are still fun for most.

My dad's a software engineer, so I know what the other side is like. Please be respectful.

Good luck to all of you that continue to fund CA's nosedive to the shallow market of this genre.
I'm turned off completely, what a load of crap. Happy that the kids have more money to spend than me, just wait until this isn't the fashion any more and you have lost the diehards like me already. Where is your fanbase then?

Its OK, at least you have the .org in your life.

edit: I agree with pizzaguy though, a little more tactful would have been nice.

I agree with you but my problem is more with the appalling support for their products.

Out if interest, do you still play Med 1 or Shogun?

**Henry707** · 04-25-2008, 12:28

Oh dear.

I don't know what to say.

People keep announcing they are leaving - what are you supposed to do?

I love the games - that's why I'm here. The advice, feedback, ideas & the humour. Livens the game up!!

Nice to have a bit of community as well but hey we all have other lives don't we....
