FYI;
According to multiple insider sources and the latest rumors are expecting ESG funds (stakeholder capitalism) to collapse/dissolve in 2023.
That means layoffs across the entire tech sector and the entire video game industry.
Sega/Relic is reliant on ESG funds such as Blackrock and Vanguard.
TOKYO: The co-creator of classic video game series Sonic the Hedgehog has been arrested for alleged insider trading, according to public prosecutors in Tokyo.
Yuji Naka, a 57-year-old programmer known for making Sonic and other major titles at Japanese game firm Sega, was arrested on Friday, a prosecution document obtained by AFP said.
His alleged misdeed took place nearly three years ago, when Naka was an employee at "Final Fantasy" creator Square Enix, the Tokyo District Prosecutors Office document said.
Naka is accused of buying shares in another game company, Aiming, when he knew they were going to release a new title jointly developed with Square Enix.
He purchased 10,000 shares in Aiming for 2.8 million yen ($20,000) in January 2020, according to the document, and the new game was announced the following month.
Prosecutors on Thursday arrested two other former Square Enix employees, also for alleged insider trading linked to Aiming.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. I have zero faith in any too-big-to-fail ESG companies.
Many people working within the entertainment industry don't grasp the times we are living in and the unprecedented demonic activity that has corrupted human life (not based on speculation).
Also, law enforcement + military can track evil and demonic activity when they know what to look for.
There is a huge difference between bad humans making bad choices and evil humans.
Spiritual death can happen before physical death.
Bad humans, you can reason with.
Evil humans? Not so much.
Similar to cancer cells, evil serves no useful purpose as it's destroying the life force on the planet.
CD Projekt Red Is DEAD! Fully Embraces ESG Score And Politics Over Video Games;
As Relic is among Sega's biggest ESG studio this outside investment is the greatest threat not just to CoH3 but to the gaming industry.
As Arch warhammer points out, there is a big conflict of interest with ESG. With this outside investment, ESG studio's such as Relic can't be loyal to CoH3 fans even if they wanted to.
Sorry to say but Relic staff needs to be purged and have the COH license given to a more competent studio.
Relic & SEGA management is either corrupt or naive fools. Here is the proof by following the money;
Relic and other ESG studios are not profitable without outside investments.
In the Austrian business cycle this is called malinvestment, leading to stock market bubbles such as dot-com bubble. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malinvestment
As this ESG stock market bubble crashes (a feel-good scam), many studios will go down with the sinking ship.
Watch this Joe Rogan interview with Adam Curry. Watch from 6:40 as he explains how ESG scores and malinvestment increase shareholder value.
On a positive side of things. Some western billionaires push back against the ESG scam most notably Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's Strive Asset Management (which include billionaires Peter Thiel & Bill Ackman)
Why ESG Is the Biggest Scam of the 21st Century | Vivek Ramaswamy;
On August 10, 2022, Strive Asset Management launched “Strive U.S. Energy ETF” (DRLL). Just two weeks later on August 24 it already an impressive $268.45 million in assets under management. Strive was founded by the now well-known and ever visible anti-ESG/anti-Woke Mr. Vivek Ramaswamy
Most of the predatory corruption in both US and China is coming from the corporate world. This is "We The Corporation" and military-industrial complex.
If WW3 goes kinetic it'll not be country vs country. It'll be "We The Corporation"/military-industrial complex vs everyone else. US + China is ground zero as they are both fighting the same enemy that has hijacked the country from within.
Some Youtubers/influencers has conflict of interest and sponsored content.
Nowadays, marketing is keenly aware influencers is key to financial success.
Power and fame corrupt.
Pro-community influencers that take conflict of interest seriously will always disclose when something is "sponsored content".
Relic/Sega marketing and corporate policies also encourages self-censorship that benefits them, not the community.
I have no doubt Sega/Relic marketing will attempt to control the narrative to boost CoH3 sales.
Over-all its all sounds like a conspiracy, but my main point is - they are intentionally adding this unit into the game, to later on allow themself add more of them later on to be soled as DLC. We are joking about Mouse, but imagine how many people would buy it if it comes as DLC. Time will show offcourse, but I strongly believe, that nothing good will come from this.
Nothing surprises me anymore. Below is some good info on why Relic/Sega management can't be trusted partly because of ESG investments/scores.
Just follow the money and you'll know the truth 9 out of 10 times.
To a denier, nothing will ever satisfy them other than experiencing 'truth' for themselves.
People can ignore reality but most people cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.
The concentration of wealth (WEF billionaires club and tax avoidance through foundations), the megacorporations that control other's people's money (stakeholder capitalism such as Blackrock/Vanguard) and those who make fiat money (fractional reserve banking) absolutely rule entire countries.
With woke ESG scores/investments, western capitalism has gone completely off the rails.
Bad news sucks, I get it.
Just be informed that with all these pro-ESG companies (including Relic/SEGA), fans can be 100% certain that executive leadership + Sega Sammy board of directors are either naive or corrupt.
Take your pick.

To understand why Relic is doing this you need to look at who owns the company. The old adage "follow the money" is highly relevant here.
Relic is owned by Sega, which in turn is owned by Vanguard - one of the two most powerful and rich megacorporations on this planet.
Both Vanguard and Blackrock (the second richest megacorp, owned partially by Vanguard) are institutional investors and systematically push all corporations they own to embrace certain modern social constructs.
Example: Blackrock's "DEI"-policy: https://www.blackrock.com/corporate/about-us/diversity-equity-and-inclusion
The more "diversity" a company has in its structure and in relation to the product they're selling the more investment money will be available for that company as its "ESG" rating will increase. ESG is basically an "investment reliability score" that the afromentioned megacorps are standardizing, and as your ESG-score increases more investors flock to you and you get access to more attractive loans.
And any board of directors of a company that are against these "social contructs" will also find themselves replaced by the holder(s) as soon as possible.

You can already tell ESG investing is a joke when even oil companies and tobacco companies are claimed to be ESG companies. Altria is one of the examples, it is so ironic and disgusting that one of the biggest tobacco companies that also sell wine, weed, and Juul claims themselves to be an ESG company when all they sell is nothing but harm to the society and environment, how does it even meet the environmental standards.

Almost everything that Tariq Fancy says about environmental, social and corporate governance, or ESG, investing has been said before, in one form or another. The significance of what he writes — most recently in a long essay on Medium — is how he says it and who he is. He was the chief investment officer for sustainable investing at BlackRock, which is the most important institutional face of the claim that ESG investing has an important role to play in helping the environment, promoting the social good, holding the corporate world accountable, and so on.
Fancy thinks the ESG project is intellectually bankrupt and is damaging to the most important causes it purports to support.
Most RT vs AT wind up in the match being done and dusted within 5-20 minutes and are not enjoyable to anyone, except those worms that like playing unfair seal clubbing BS.
I agree. Especially 4vs4 is a deeply flawed system and I think Relic will lose casual players and money if they don't fix this unfairness. At the very least fix 4v4.
Also, 4vs4 team unfairness is not just related to skill and ELO rating.
The unfairness is also related to AT synergistic effect of specialized commanders/factions which the current matchmaking does not take into account.
As with a perfectly designed AT setup with factions/commanders I could make the argument that 4vs4 AT has the potential to become P2W (synergistic effect) vs RT with random factions/commanders (no synergy).
A solution to this?
Let the random team choose factions/commanders in two stages before the game start;
1) Individual faction/commanders setup before searching for a match, 2) as the match is fixed RT makes a second setup to counter AT faction/commanders.
If lack of players is a big problem, cut 3vs3 and/or make 4vs4 base game FTP. Alternatively, keep 2vs2/3vs3/4vs4 on the old system while doing 4vs4 experimentation with a new system.
Most PvP fans hate unfairness and want a level playing field. That's why they hate P2W microtransactions.
How CoH3 can make money from players, the lifecycle;
In short, the casual players make money and the hardcore players make the community content/engagement.
Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money Last Thursday, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that. Last Thursday, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals. Last Thursday, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point. Last Thursday, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy Last Thursday, 04:31 AM
Soheil: Coh2 still broken server ? Last Tuesday, 18:27 PM
Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific. . 24 Mar 2025, 02:46 AM
Nickbn: and again someone else replies. I mean come on guys. Give @adamírcz a chance 22 Mar 2025, 14:00 PM
Willy Pete: @Nickbn you didn't ask a question, and this is a chat box... 20 Mar 2025, 13:11 PM
Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him. 20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3. 18 Mar 2025, 19:01 PM
Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please. 18 Mar 2025, 16:47 PM
Rosbone: #RelicModdedEchoChamber 16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM
Rosbone: @Nickbn True except, the only people on the Relic Discord/Reddit/Steam are brain washed monkey zealots. They wont even understand what @adamírcz is talking about. Anyone else is banned. 16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM
Nickbn: @adamírcz might be a better idea to voice this to relic directly than to voice it here, in a shoutbox of a nearly deade fansite #justsaying... 16 Mar 2025, 16:36 PM
aerafield: @adamírcz aren't the first two disconnects free every day? 14 Mar 2025, 19:26 PM
Rosbone: It is so unlike Relic to punish its fans and community. 14 Mar 2025, 12:07 PM
adamírcz: So, I just got a leaver penalty without even getting onto the loading screen because of the game disconnecting, bravo Relic 14 Mar 2025, 10:45 AM
Rosbone: It is an indicator of the very short sighted capitalist view that plagues any company where leadership does not understand the product. 13 Mar 2025, 20:00 PM
