Why did they even greenlight Hyenas. Why Saint's Row and Redlight and Forspoken? How many more times does this need to happen before they realize what's wrong? Are the top brass of vidya companies really that disconnected with their audience?
I'm betting on some higher up was looking at live-service shooters and wanted in on the action. Despite it being oversaturated and way too late to likely get any traction.
No, they're incentivised to pursue projects with extremely low chances of success for personal gain.
You have to understand the mindset of a highly paid executive. They're paid to gamble with other peoples money. But they arent personally affected by the outcome of each bet.The day they walk in the front door of a company they've already made enough to set them up for life if they're smart. After a year they have enough to coast through life in the lap of luxury. They don't have to worry about the fallout from any bad decisions they make.
The result? They are incentivised to take the most moronic, out there bets imaginable. If it works their earning potential skyrockets to an even more ridiculous degree. If it doesn't, investors and employees take the fall.
It's relevant you buffon. It gives you perspective on the kind of project they can fund. Sega does not have enough to absorb a bunch of failures and fund big projects.
They jad a good hunch to get into PCs before other japs.
But they should step in when all metrics started to show how inefficient their studios became.
Grace meltdowns was a prime indicator that CA is a longhouse and circus in one.
Reminds me when they patched Shogun 2 to remove community chats because the handuful of players who still played multi were naming their group 'Ashigaru sex chat'.
They still have a monopoly in their niche. If they stopped dropping successful games and developing games for no audience they could recover. Get a custodian team for Warhammer 3 and make Med 3 on a new engine and they're easily back.
Good.
SEGA screwed over the Hyenas fanbase by cancelling the Hyenas 1.0 release without even allowing users to get back at those billionaire b*stards like they said they would in September and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
Remember when the CEO or whatever told warhammer fans they have to buy the DLC or no more total war games? Well seems like he wasn't lying for the first time in his life, because the whole company is going bankrupt due to their moronic decisions, and total war warhammer is probably their only franchise still moving copies
It was before Hyenas was a thing, they have reached a dead end with TW as the rickety ass Warscape engine is at the end of its rope and they no longer have the talent to overhaul it. It's over.
I want Empire 2 for fricks sake
>I am le important man on an anonymous San Marinese cheese curdling forum, trust me dude
yeah, right
It's a public document.
Reminder CA had 900 employees because they hired for Hyenas.

Sega is rich. They can handle a few hundred million dollars loss.
No they aren't. Sega is poor as frick in comparison to other game publishers.
>in comparison
Irrelevant, moron.

You underestimate CA incompetence.

This. So much this. F*ck you chuds for robbing us of OUR game.
>some homosexual anon says game is dead
>better make a thread about it!
You're a fricking loser and a homosexual, OP.
for a lame series I never found particularly good, I'm genuinely surprised it lasted this long. kind of like Dynasty Warriors, Gaylo, and AssCreed.

Don't care.
Having fun.
Total War was dying ever since Empire. Shogun 2 was the swan song, after that it has been dead as a doornail.
Fun fact: Total War today is still struggling to match Medieval 1, a game over 20 years old.
It was before Hyenas was a thing, they have reached a dead end with TW as the rickety ass Warscape engine is at the end of its rope and they no longer have the talent to overhaul it. It's over.
how is it over?
Strategy is too niche for them to profit from AAA games
I thought this was the outcome of that less people paid more ideology, that the company makes less money
