To that end, I'm interested in reading comments on the current version and (hopefully) its evolution from a beta version to a game I will play. While any rational comment is useful, those written by people who's opinions I've come to respect on these issues over the years are more valuable to me. After my frustration with CA over the years, I do not attribute any special status to comments on TW games made by those who work for CA. In fact, I'm more likely to view their comments with more skepticism than the average post. Jack Lusted, OTOH, is in a special position IMO since he is a player, a modder, and is now an EA insider and I have no reason to believe what he says is corporate "doublespeak".

    Don't you mean Sega? Shogun was the only Total War game published by EA. Medieval was was published by Activision and then from Rome and on, it has been Sega. The CA development company was actually purchased by Sega, so I doubt there will be any more changes of publisher in the near future.

    I'm pretty sure SEGA took over just before Barbarian Invasion.

    You are correct. When I was typing, I grabbed the Barbarian Expansion Box and saw SEGA on it, and just assumed Rome was the same without first checking.

    IIRC, Activision was Rome. Sega was BI.

    The dude sounds tired.

    They're obviously doing their best to get it straightened up.


    On a side note: "planning to support ETW for a long time" this could either be a good or a bad thing.
    But will no doubt swallow some profits, so let’s just look at it as kind.
