Canada-based studio Relic Entertainment, which recently released Company of Heroes 3, did receive some good news in the midst of these layoffs. The company announced on X (formerly Twitter) that it is becoming an independent studio thanks to the help of "an external investor" who went unnamed.

Did you miss Alien: Isolation, Three Kingdoms, and Warhammer?

You mean the near Paradox levels of DLC for Three Kingdoms and Warhammer? And selling blood as a fucking DLC for every Total War game since Shogun 2? Yeah, I've heard about it.

The games are good, but Sega's forced monetization is atrocious.

Eh, CA pretty much aced their DLC strategy for warhammer 2. It's with Warhammer 3 that they fell of a cliff. And three kingdoms barely got any DLC before getting cancelled.

Of those three, the one I bought was Three Kingdoms, and I was certainly not forced to buy more than the base game. Paradox's DLC strategy is a-okay by me. Neither company puts a gun to my head to buy their DLC. Pretty sure blood is a DLC to get away with a lower age rating.
