CA finally broke their silence

Theo91#7431

CA finally broke their silence but it very much seems like this was a direct response to the mountain of negativity they were getting on every communication platform.

I’m not saying the doom posts were a good thing but it’s a shame that’s what it took for CA to do the bare minimum communication with their customers

Tuesday Newsday delivered.

I don't care if doom posts worked or not. They's be funni.

Or maybe they were going to release a roadmap this month but man-children got to a fever pitch insulting people and slinging conspiracy theories over a game.

Classic “we did it” moment when a developer has to ask people not to be so toxic to staff.

Honestly, I just feel bad for the community staff that has to deal with the gonk leadership.

As someone who used to work as a community manager for a fairly popular mobile game at one point in my life, I would have basically dozens of meetings about communication and I would propose all of these things that could at least keep the lines of communication open. Finally, when it was time to post and update and news letter, I would get an email telling me to postpone it without explanation. So to the community, it just looked like, I personally, was not doing my job or even working.

(as an aside my co-worker would just post the worst, most dated memes to our social media without anyone even knowing or caring and it made it look like we were trolling our players)

Since CA works in the UK, it was already late Wednesday when they delivered.

Yes. You're right. This time Tuesday Newsday happened on Wednesday

It took so much negativity for a company to talk to their costumers. I hope they have learnt; doubt it though.

With pressure you can achieve pretty much anything. The negativity following Rome II's release was what forced CA to give the Scythian tribles DLC for free for an entire week.

CA only brings news after a looooooong time and tons of negativity from the community, nothing has changed since the norsca debacle back at the release of ME, despite their continuos "work on communication".

Do you really think this is how it works? They are cancelling their own marketing out of spite? I know that CA often times seems a bit inept, but this would be straight up unprofessional.

Thank you doom posts. Keep the pressure on

imagine they would do the next step in game development and actually start fixing the game instead of posting worthless nonsense. a man can dream....
