“I do not agree with your EULA 3rd party crap I want a refund. BY the way this was one of the most predatory most of that DLC could have been sold with the game almost a 200 $ game dlc but you and the ELUA think that is not ownership then…”
“So sad to see how we went from this absolute masterpiece of a game to the current state of the total war franchise. Seeing how they treat their fans, content creators and the franchise as a whole, paired with disgusting business practices…”
