What would your reaction be if CA abandoned WH3 like they did 3K?

XxXScorpionXxX#2310

They get out IE a couple of campaign packs 3 lord packs and that's it. The low DLC sales and poor player retention lead them to canceling any cross game lord packs or map expansions they might have had planned.

Djau#5149

Very unlikely to happen.

AxiosXiphos#9040

I'd probably be shocked to discover I wasn't in the real world.

I will react IF that ever happens and that is very big if, this trilogy does not have the issues 3K had with DLC, it is not a valid comparision.

Bayes#3307

The player retention is like
25% less than total war warhammer 2. while also having double the peak while launching on multiple platforms. Let’s not get ahead of oureslves here.

Reeks#2417

I would be sad

Not overly surprised

But very sad


But hey, stuff like that can happen when you act in a scummy way "aka" releasing a game as fully functional when in reality it´s a early access game

Captain_Rex#1635

Why would they do that? DLCs will be an insta success.

davedave1124#4773

Wouldn’t happen, despite what the bleeding heart brigade say.

Lunaticprince#9972

I would be sad and cursed CA but.

As long CA not drops it by updates and dlcs I doubt

manpersal#3961

I don't thint it's a possiibility. The reasons why WH3 is disappointing are very concrete and realtively easy to fix, excepting perfomamce.

MonochromaticSpider#5650

I'd be laughing as CA don't have any other cash cows anywhere near maturity. 3K2 is far out and probably won't get a better welcome than 3K did, probably won't move DLC any better either. What else is there?

If CA don't want money then fine, whatever, I don't absolutely hate the idea of not giving them any.

I mean only way I can see it if warhammer go the same update and dlc spiral like 3k but I doubt

CA gonna want to mess up their dlcs who are they biggest life support


I mean they could keep wh2 alive for 4 years

kabulk#6557

If I write here what I would do I would be banned from the forum forever

dodge33cymru#1936

I'd be fine with it. So long as the game is left in a stable state and everything promised was delivered (IE, blood).

I think the design of this third game is pretty poor anyway, so if they left the very talented modders a stable platform to work with I'd be happy with it.

SlamuraiJack

The only way WH3 gets left in the dust early is if they end up cannibalizing its playerbase with an even more successful game. 3K suffered significantly by running alongside WH2, and it would take a similarly successful game in the future for WH3 to suffer the same fate.

Tennisgolfboll#5877

Id just keep playing.and modding wh2 which is a dream come true.

CA allready delivered a great warhammer game so even if they crash and burn now i gor what i wanted.

I hoped for some innovations concerning DLCs, but seeing how things have gone I think CA will keep the past formula of lord packs and some campaign packs, which seems the safest route to success.

Dragantis#9204

I would simply stop buying their games. My current method of buying game is: if I played in previous title, liked it I may buy next title if I like what I see on trailers, but if I didn't like it or I didn't like some developer decision I don't buy it. New game from new developers I only buy on sales, also I don't give a f about reviews.

Mr_Finley7#4571

I’d be apoplectic

XxXScorpionXxX#2310

When I say abandon I don't mean to move on to another historical game per say since they have different studios for that now. But I could see a scenario where they stop producing content for WH3 and move into full production of Total War Warhammer: Age of Sigmar or Total War Warrhammer 40K

WelshMeatball#4754

I dont own it until there is a sale or the new mortal empires map appears and even than I dont get it right away, because I dont trust them anymore and the the new ME map will probably be horribly bugged or some other failure.

Edit: they wont abandon it because the white knights still pay for this crap.

LuciusCornelius#7004

My reaction would be to play WH3 until I was tired of it, and then go play something else.

Bies#4376

Ghettobible#3796

3K had issues because they released the game when it wasn't finished with only a few characters.

Rot3K has loads of characters, most of them have fans. That means 100+ unique characters and CA didn't realize that. They would have had massive success if they just released character packs every few months.

Maedrethnir#1968

I would stop buying their games.

If it’s due to low sales…..it is what it is. What exactly am I suppose to be reacting to?

Gustaf97

I believe that the player retention might be lower(i dont know if it turly is) now because we only got the narrative campaign. Your casual TWW fan might get tired of the game because all races has the same makro objectives(getting souls) and the objectives forces a certain playstyle upon the player. The hardcore player base of late TWW2 was almost exclusivly ME players.

However when IE dropps and we get the entire fantasy universe open and free to do whatever you want in, i believe that the real TWW3 experience will begin as we shall know it for the years to come.

Lets remember that the TWW2 narrative vortex campaign wasn't the go to for high playtime players looking for a casual campaign either.

The vortex campaign and dlc campaign were fun thematic and narrative focused campaign that realy animated the TWW2 content. But when you have experienced your vortex campaignes ME became the goto because of the more diverse array of races and regions

I hope they won't shut down TWW3, it hasn't realy even begun yet. I for one am going to support this game to the verry end. For me Warhammer fantasy is my favorite fantasy universe and Total War my favorite PC games. This game series will probably be the best of my life

Is there any buzzword name or phrase you guys won’t spray anywhere and everywhere? Your usage makes no sense

Kapika96

Seems unlikely.

Although shouldn't the real question be what would Sega do? How many games can they lose a bunch of players on, underperform in terms of DLC sales and then abandon, without being shut down?

Rheingold#6691

Not much chance of that happening.... Abandoning 2 games in such short time would be really detrimental to CA's rep and absolutely hit any future sales for games. Not saying they couldn't do it with another game but WH3 is way to close to 3k.
Put simply they are exclusively a gaming company and abandoning games on a regular basis would be really bad for them.

Bonutz#3949

Anything is possible but I find it extremely unlikely.
