Do you think Relic & Sega, rather than longtime fans, are mainly to blame for the failure of DoW 3?

Relic had a good track record, so it could be persuasion from Sega about the financial growth of the game.

Also, before release, they probably knew that they were releasing a tough pill for longtime fans to swallow. It was right for longtime fans to find it difficult to accept.

Lastly, they didn't decide on any major overhauls to re-capture longtime fans, but decided to drop the game instead.

Now the conflict was real, the problem was real, and we shouldn't try to gloss over it.

Just to add, I wouldn't call their decisions bad, just hare-brained.

yeah of course, those who make the big decisions always have the largest share of the blame.

I'm not sure a thread appointing blame is going to go anywhere positive. Additionally it seems to be a thread that has already drawn a conclusion.
