Its hard to be mad a company that made a game which gave me 2000 hours of fun, with or without the bugs. The outrage was because we love the game so much, which they made.
Yes THQ messed this one up, they shouldn't have done the things they are doing now, and it smells of bad business, but I for one will not allow that THQ's financial policies afect how I feel for the game developers and map makers and etc. Different people. One have only money on their mind, while the others, people that made CoH really try hard to make a game that's as good as possible, if not the best.
Jim's attitude isnt limited to THQ's financial decisions but towards the whole THQ staff, which includes relic, which I dont like . And there you have the reason
Ami, huge respect for the site but I am a little concerned at your reaction towards Jim. Are you saying Jim is not welcome?
You guys are going to be the centre of coh and as a result have a lot of power, please try and wield it responsibly.
I think you are forgetting what Relic and THQ did to the community on the release of TOV. They took a product I paid over $200AUD for and left it unplayable for two months. They then release a bug patch which was half arsed and then abandoned their promise to work on a balance patch because they had already moved onto COHO.
Only after massive community outrage did they decide to actually do the patch they promised.
The company is out purely for profit and would have no hesitation to lie to the public if it is in their financial interest.
Welcome negative opinions because if they are wrong, logic will prevail.
COH is a masterpiece, hopefully Relic gets picked up by a company with the resources to prevent Relic from releasing an unfinished product again as well as have a marketing budget.
EA gets some stick but the interface and esports elements they built into c&c3 were awesome, the gameplay was just terrible. Imagine that combined with COH's gameplay!!!
