The zeal and insanity I have seen in Total War Warhammer 3 fans-turned-haters has been unlike anything I've seen anywhere else. The sheer stupidity of the boycot situation is astounding.
The Chaos Dwarfs DLC was such a massive labour of love, and was so clearly so even if you didn't look into the background details like how they reached out to the Chaos Dwarfs Online forum. The fact that people were outraged it cost £5 more than the previous DLC was ridiculous, especially after all the difficulties they had with bringing TW:Warhammer 3 to market and the crazy preceding year of inflation.
Genuine r/insanepeoplefacebook stuff seeing the outrage, even more so when you consider Immortal Empires in 3 doesn't even require the previous games.

I dunno, kinda bonkers to see people angry about a price hike in your forums, tell them that discussing your game in the steam-required forum is a privilege, and then perma ban people from making mods for your game over it.
You can think people are overreacting by being angry over the games quality and price, but taking away mods from the community for having the 'audacity' to discuss your game in the forums steam made for that game is a fucking insane response.

Okay, but surely we agree that forum posts calling to boycott the game are reasonable to remove? If I made a game and had a forum for it, I would ban users posting calling to boycott the game.
Complaints about bugs, lack of quality, constructive criticism are all completely fair, but using the forum as a platform to campaign against the very game?
Considering it's a steam forum too, it's like entering a shop and telling other customers not to buy the wares.

What the hell? Am I supposed to give them solutions for free?
