I haven’t checked in on this game since around launch. Anyone want to bring me up to speed on what’s happening? I gather the latest expansion pack is priced differently than prior DLC?
Also, that line about discussion being a privilege seems icky.
The part where they said “The right to discuss is a privilege—it is not an entitlement you earn by playing the game” made me laugh out loud. What a ridiculously bad public take hahaha
Right? Like, if I want to be as charitable as I’m capable of being, I could understand that sentiment if you are talking about your own official forums on your website. Like, sure, if you own the content and the forum, you have the power to determine what is and isn’t acceptable on your platforms. It’s a stupid determination, mind you, but it’s within your power. However the impression I gather from the article is that they’re referring to the Steam forums, which is absolutely asinine to me.
“The right to discuss is a privilege” - someone is very confused about the difference between rights and privileges and also wrong.
I had to check. They actually said this. I’ve never played Warhammer (I have been interested, just haven’t gotten around to it) and I don’t know these devs at all, but contradicting themselves with just seven words in the same sentence is actually kind of impressive.
Games Workshop is renowned for shitty treatment of their customers. Looks like whichever studio develops their IP for games will do the same.
That’s pretty terrible and should put people off buying anything from them. They increased pricing, and when community backlash happens they just ban everyone who dares express an opinion that isn’t positive.

I just upvoted every Steam review highlighting the company’s shitty practices. Thanks for the heads up!
Tone deaf company. My friend wants me to get into this series so badly, but this article details what a disgusting relationship CA has with its customers.
The series is still great, but decisions by the company recently have really been bad.
Each time I check the r/totalwar subreddit, there seem to be another PR fuckup from CA. It’s really sad considering they were peaking just a few years ago with TWW2. Stopped maintaining my mods due to it.
They even closed the Steam discussion thread and didn’t have the decency to properly link to the “New Discussion” wherever the fuck that is taking place. CA have their heads so far up their ass that every bit of shit smells wonderful to them at this point.
Edit: Found the link
Valve should remove Total War Warhammer 3 from sale. Been a Dick to your customers is not something that Valve should tolerate.
Valve do it too. It’s what they are known for.
Oh look, another reason not to give a shit about ultra-fashy WH40k
I think you’re thinking of Games Workshop, the IP holder for WH and WH40K. This is about Creative Assembly, the developer of the Total War RTS games, mostly historical, but also 3 set in the WH universe. They basically developed a very adversarial relationship with their core audience and failed to innovate in decades. Oh wait it is kinda similar to the Games Workshop situation…
But…this has absolutely nothing to do with WH40k? The fuck are you talking about?
They are either a troll or an idiot, in either case best to just mute and move on instead of giving them attention.
isnt total war warhammer about w40k?
No, it’s about Warhammer fantasy, also Games Workshop, but different universe. Creative Assembly - the Total War guys - have never made a 40k game.
at this point the confusing naming is a pretty good shibboleth to show if you know what you’re talking about
you failed
lol, no. Makes it pretty obvious you don’t know what you’re angry about.
uh Im not that guy lol
Im just a random person who made a throwaway comment which happened to be wrong
Dumb take. That’s not what’s at issue here and making it an excuse to red herring a series you dislike is really dumb.
But violent video games and rap music is still a problem though right?
