I doubt many CA visitors would call it deferential. Not lately anyway.

Treating developers rationally and sensibly is a mater of common sense. This is a site aimed at CA’s Total War franchise. So yeah, we want CA to feel welcome here. Who else can give us better insight into the games?

There is no need for the Org to verify its’ bona fides as a neutral fair minded site by alienating the developers over issues that bother certain patrons to extremes. That would be plain stupid. No one must kowtow to CA. Everyone must treat them with respect. They are patrons like the rest of us. Sure they get a few “Thank yous” when they post and why should they not? This a hobby for us but a job for them.

I’d much sooner read a post describing how a certain aspect of the game was designed by someone who was there than read another “AI is dumb” post regurgitated for the 10th time by the same patron. You see, we have a deferential attitude toward those patrons too.
