Tristan, they didn't work on CoH2 for 7 years, so that argument is pointless. People keep saying 7 years implying as though they'd been working on it for that long. You have to at least discount the time for the expansions, for CoHO, and other projects (W40K).
Game studios don't always launch their entire creative arsenal on one title alone. Some do, not all. Many of those projects don't even see the light of day, or get announced at all.
I never said they "worked" on it for seven years, I said it took 7 years for a coh2 to come out, don't assume what you think I am implying. The argument wouldn't be pointless on the basis that there wasn't an argument to begin with, I was stating a fact.
I was however, commenting on Volsky's post, which has a lot of truth to it. That my friend, is what is depressing.
