@czopor_krzysior I can't share details just yet, but CoH2 will be much more secure against cheaters. Relic made it a priority.

Can't wait to get more frequent updates. Its an exciting time in the CoH world!

The size of an office and the general position within a firm are somewhat correlated, yes. Judging by the size of that cubicle, the person working in it cant be in a very elevated position.

Still dont understand why people want THQLynx as the CoH2 community manager so desperately.

Assuming facts not in evidence.

For all we know, Bobby is a contractor who works for SEGA independently.

For all we know, that cubicle is a workstation/training area for a day/week while he on-boards.

Maybe you might all just might want to wait for the actual confirmation to come out.

I'm just as anxious as anyone to see Beta start. I don't necessarily think that Relic/Sega should get a pass for the lack of communication over the past 2-3 weeks, but I do understand their predicament.

It seems to me the most critical moment to have a community manager in place is during the Beta phase of a game. This is self evident in that the CM provides community feedback to the developer (Relic) that would be critical in helping with designing a satisfactory finished product. Currently, as we all know SEGA has no CM for the CoH2 community.

With SEGA now in charge of filling that position, it will take more time than just a week or 2. Even if Bobby(Lynx) is the obvious choice a company such as SEGA must follow protocol in filling any position. I remember working for a large well known employer. This company had hiring protocol's like I am speaking of. Even when it was a complete slam dunk for a certain applicant to get a job, this company still had to post the job and hold for 10 days before a hiring decision could occur. And this was just the internal website. I'm sure with external applicants the wait would have been longer.

If SEGA has a similar stance on hiring, it might mean upwards of a month before the position is filled. The job has to be posted. Their is most likely a waiting period to allow candidates ample time to apply. Job interviews must occur and schedules arranged for those interviews to happen. Background checks have to occur. Job offers made and salary negotiations as well.

And even after a hire is completed, onboarding for the newly hired employee also must occur. Depending on the company this might also take several weeks/months.

In other words, I can see why its taking as long as it has as it only been about 2.5 weeks since SEGA'S aquistion. And its probably gonna take longer than we'd all like it to.

I guess we just continue to hang in there.
