Relic has been like this ever since. Nothing unusual.
They are hiring people to work on DoW3, they are not hiring people to work on CoH2. There is 0 reason for them to continue to support CoH2 when they can release DoW3 and make more in a week then CoH2 has made since it came out.
Their wishy washy attitude towards talking about what they are working on it's just conformation that they don't think they are able to keep content rolling for CoH2 and work on DoW3.
