Dont forget about Ensemble studios and AOE3, the game producers completely abandoned everyone that made the game, leaving once-loyal costumers pissed off. Theyre multiplayer doesnt work for a decent percentage of costumers, and even if it does work the servers dont half the time (Can you beleive ESO servers were flooded by a mere 5k people? the games got out of synch and at the end of the game their victorys didnt count)

Seems theres a plaque going around...Devolopers abandoning their games, in the hope that everyone will buy it and the expansion without complaint.

At LEAST RTW has patches coming out, and i think the single player is awsome, even if the multiplayer chat got f*cked up.
