I would have also hoped for a traditionally PC oriented producer to pick up CA and the TW rights, rather than a traditionally console oriented producer like Sega. But if they keep making TW games for the PC and do not allow the game to be dragged down by focus on the console market I don't care too much.

Neither do I; we can always hope!!

I guess we ought to ignore the launch of Spartan Total Warrrior???

What you ought to do, if you have any interest in console action games, is try Spartan: Total Warrior. Perhaps you'll like it. It's different. Perhaps you won't. It's different. But in either case, its development signals our expansion into exciting new territory, not a withdrawal from the Total War genre. Success means we can do both at once.

And I keep saying it, but people keep ignoring me... Sega bought CA because they wanted to publish a winning PC franchise, not because they wanted to destroy it.

I have zero interest in console action games, so that answers the first statements. What you see as exciting new territory may not strike everybody else in quite the same way.

I don't know who's ignoring you, but it certainly isn't me I don't believe for one minute that Sega bought the franchise to torch it. The trouble is the current state of the art of this winning PC franchise (RTW) is very pretty to look at, but a complete and utter mess beyond surface looks.

What we have to hope is that Sega will want to fix the game so that it matches the looks, rather than milk the cow of the name to recoup the purchase cost as fast as they can without any regard to long term playability

My opinions only, ignore them if you wish.
