Is it me or has Relic been totally silent since the whole Brad drama?

I mean I wouldn't blame them for avoiding this place, but it does has the meme factor and you know, the small fact that the entire community resides here. :sibHyena:

Kyle made a couple of posts on official forums, but just stuff addressing the forums.

Yeah, but half of the 1 hour stream was recapping ESL results (why do they do this in the first place, to avoid discussing more difficult and important subjects or facing tough questions they can't answer?) and the rest was talking about some skins. It's cool that Relic finally interacts with the community better, but using half or even more of the stream time (which is already pretty tiny amount, 1 hour every week or two) to go through the ESL results - which we all already know shouldn't be such a huge priority.

They should be more open about their plans for the future of this game. But it's been like this since day 1 so can't really expect much to change.

Why do they have to waste time answering your questions. Play the game if you like it. All their answer in the game.

Devs start to become less and less active once they start abandoning a game and head for something new. Thats how it works

It's a bit concerning since there are so many things that could use tweaks to make them viable (sexton, valentine, churchill, greyhound, penals come to mind instantly). Likewise the unfinished OKW revamp, warspoils revamp and implied promise that balance issues would be addressed after ESL are all in doubt now.

As for Relic themselves, there is their twitter account celebrating their growth:

And also a group shot showing they at least have employees:

Yeah, OKW now has full vet 5 veterancy and no resource penalties. In general everything's kinda half-assed right now, something good, but not quite there yet.

Running real-time Q&A with 500+ random twitch users are not a good idea it's a mess.

Instead, do something similar to Creative Assembly (Craig Laycock) and focus more on youtube community interaction:
One thing I'm particularly passionate about is developing new formats for engaging with our fan base. One example is Rally Point, a Total War community web show I created, built entirely in-house with our own skills. Right now, Rally Point is pulling in up to 225k views an episode, and has achieved 3m views to date.
Working with a huge and diverse audience, I also aim to encourage community interaction with our passionate fans across all studio titles, while reporting activity directly back to those who will most benefit from it.

For Relic CMs it's messy engaging a large fan base in real time as they can't provide good answers without consulting with the right people involved.

What is Rally Point?
http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Rally_Point


Finalist, MCV Awards 2014, "Community Engagement"​
Finalist, MCV Awards 2015, "Community Team"​
Finalist, MCV Awards 2016, "Community Team"​
Craig Laycock has the right credentials to know what he's talking about. Relic can learn a lot from him.

In comparison LoL get 200-400K views from doing something similar to rally point. So CA is doing pretty good on youtube with a much smaller fan base than LoL.


For those that want to believe in the power of youtube just look at pewdiepie.

PewDiePie big fan of Alien Isolation with 13 gameplay walkthrough videos. 42 Million YouTube Subscribers. Over 7.088.146 likes on facebook. The 30 Most Influential People on the Internet. Making over $7 million every year. PewDiePie is the king of YouTube.
