I hope he didn't want to say that (and I think it's unlikely he did), cos that's just plain rude and ridiculous. I don't know if this is strategy to lure people into playing EB online, but I can tell you it doesn't work and maybe even lost interrest.
Everybody knows the Total War series isn't a multiplayer games. It isn't made for online purposes so don't look so surprised, alot of people aren't interrested to play this online and I can't blame them. The battles are pretty clunky, have some annoying features, it isn't that balanced and have alot of glitches. Now don't be frustrated and call people a ****. Just accept that most people like EB for it's campaigns and not for the online feature.
