While CA and Paradox are very different in size, the issues that Paradox is having right now are very similar in cause to what happened with ETW.

Its similar at release only, afterwards its light years away; paradox patches years after, CA has already stopped after 6 months. This is while there is good indication that the majority of players thinks that ETW needs more:

For CA it isn't that different, you have to release the game because well...where is the money going to come from to pay the bills?

Again for CA its vastly different because their patch policy is as their state-at-release policy: not good that is. As for the money, is coming in abundance by people who think just like you

...they probably (I have no idea actually)....

Thanks for conclusively clearing the matter then...

I'm sorry but I just don't buy into the whole conspiracy theory...

Its perfectly clear that you dont; you instead buy broken games that stay broken from a company that promises to fix them before release and plays deaf after, 3 times in a row (5 if you count the expansions), and after all this you still advocate faith in them. You have fun your way, others in their way...

And in the end, it is for the money rigtht? But to get more money they need to be doing something right, if they are really so far from doing anything remotely correct then I'm sure CA will be bankrupt in no time.

Well, then in that case corporations and the mafia must be doing everything right

No please don't think I'm advocating against criticism or argumenting that they could have done differently or better.

Never crossed my mind...

I just don't buy the whole "we know better, they are stupid" idea.

Indeed, you seem to fondly prefer the whole "buy broken buggy games and shut up" one.

I know it sounds provocative but please allow me, if CA's business ways are so so bad that every single person on forums around the world would do thousands of times better then they if at the helm of the company, somehow I just don't think they would be in business at all.

On the other hand, and far less provocatively, if every single person on forums followed your line they would never go out of business. Absolute genious
