It's not just the fact that CA is in decline that's been such a problem for the Total War community. It's the fact that they've been in decline and they've been steadily self-destructing as they behave like unprofessional shit heads to anyone who criticises them. I catch flak sometimes on this site but holy fuck is this a lesson for me on how not to respond to people LOL.
For those who don't know they've not only recently threatened people that they won't produce any more content for Warhammer 3 if their sales targets aren't met they also started banning people from the forums and giving really snarky messages saying things like discussing their products is a privilege not a right. I think as competition starts growing and it probably will with how bad they are, they're going to get more desperate and greedy with their business decisions.
These idiots have been refusing to fix long standing problems with their games in latest releases and then they act shocked when no one wants to buy them anymore. For me the biggest cheeky move they did was making the immortal empires campaign for brand new players and fucking over long term supporters like me who bought 1 and 2 from even being able to play it. As a result I've completely boycotted them and won't touch anything they put out, it's all getting woke as fuck now anyway and they're probably going to start ruining Warhammer next.

That's what I noticed when CA started complaining about the grief they were getting with Empire back in the day. I watched a movie that came with the game, and I shit you not, one of the developers literally said (paraphrasing):
'People need to stop complaining about this game. This isn't just one game. It's three games. It's a grand strategy game, a battlefield game, and a naval game all in one! Then you have the gall to complain that it's $60 for three games, you should be paying $180! Grow up!'
Real humans actually released that in a behind-the-scenes kind of developer video as a feature.
Imagine trying to release Empire, in it's original broken state, nearly 15 years ago, for $180.
Now that's entitlement.

Yeah, I've been trying to find other battle simulators. Like "Fantasy General" and "Age of Wonders'
