Thanks so much for the input Noun. To be clear, what we're hearing is that active development on COH2 is finished, not necessarily that dozens of people have been laid off. Presumably many people have been reassigned, if the rumors are true.
I'm aware that this is hardly the first time we've heard rumors to that effect, but to my knowledge this is the first time that those rumors have been identifiably sourced as coming from within Relic. |
Thank you for resisting the inclination to make this personal ;-)
I asked because I thought I had missed something since this morning. Should have known better... 
No worries
As I said, I'm only concerned for the people (potentially) affected, and the game/community. I would love to be wrong. Nothing personal about it. |
Where is the verification of the rumours you mentioned, onion?
Brad's LinkedIn, we've been over this. I'm guessing you don't have much experience with the professional world because Brad's profile would not indicate his term was over in March 2016 unless he left; it would say "-Present" like Kyle's.
Admittedly this is only evidence that Brad is gone, it doesn't necessarily mean that no one will replace him. But I don't think there's any reason to doubt the sources for this news, given that they are right so far. |
Didnt they throw away coh online too ?
Devs throw away works in progress all the time. There are more thrown-away works in progress than completed works and it's not even close.
I don't expect we'll ever see war spoils. I'd love to be proven wrong, though, just like I'd love to be proven wrong about the layoffs. |
Better QA, better supervision, sure, they could use it.
What part of "there is no COH2 team any more" do you not understand?
The same sources that broke the (now-validated) news about Brad indicated that Kyle and most if not all of the rest of the COH2 team is either laid off or reassigned within the company.
There will be no QA. There will be no supervision. There will be no bugfixes or optimization, and frankly I'd be surprised to see a single new balance patch. The current build is COH2's "2.602". |
Whatever dude, we will see what happens over the next few days/weeks. |
What's the source of that?
Multiple people saying they spoke directly with Brad and Kyle.
Again, at this point, just rumors. But they seem to be credible rumors. |
Yes, we definitely need some drama based on fake twitter account, because this community doesn't have enough reasons to shit itself on a daily basis and then take a bile bath. 
I don't think you were watching the ESL streams. It's much more than just one tweet which, yes, was probably faked. |
Some of us have heard the rumors, some of us haven't. I noticed there wasn't a forum topic so I thought I'd create one for us to discuss the situation, given that the rumors appear to be credible.
In case you haven't heard, it appears as though a significant number of Relic employees working on COH2--possibly the entire COH2 team--have been laid off. I'm sure we'll see this confirmed or refuted in the next few days, but I thought it would be good to have a place to discuss the implications for the future of COH2.
Also, assuming the rumors are true, good luck and God bless to Brad and Kyle and everyone else affected. |
If you dont like the game you can make a mod.
