At some point in the last couple years, someone higher up came along, grabbed the yoke for this series and just nose dived it into the closest mountain.

Creative Assembly refuses to create a custodian team to maintain the game and just focus on bugs and small improvements. Instead they've decided to go the Paradox route and tie bug fixes to overpriced DLCs. We're even talking about minor problems being fixed, they're also not fixing patches that outright break parts of the game. There is a faction leader who is a big crocodile guy, his whole gimmick is running around with other big crocodile men. Guess what he cannot recruit because of a serious bug? That's right, the big crocodile men. Know who managed to fix that in just a few minutes? Modders.

Recently there was backlash because Creative Assembly decided to increase the prices of new DLCs by a substantial amount. Creative Assembly's response to that was basically threatening that if the community didn't buy the overpriced DLC, then Creative Assembly would not only stop making new overpriced DLC, but they would also no longer fix bugs.

So here we are. A lot of people who love this series, who love this game, are giving it negative reviews because honeslty I (we) cannot recommend someone buy this game knowing how Creative Assembly went from being community friendly to bending us over a barrel and letting a horse have its way with us.
