Total war is practically a Madden game with per team dlc. They deserve the criticism. They do yearly releases of various themes on the same engine with minor improvements.
I'm not really sure why an experienced dev would support publishers. Your some of the lowest paid and hardest worked devs and frequently get laid off post release. The actual costs for your labor aren't the majority of the cost of games, stop shilling for your abusers.
Then why are people buying it!? If it has no value, then a price change makes no difference. You don't like it, don't buy it!
I'm not supporting publishers. The actions by the "fans" are doing absolutely nothing to the publishers!
The latest Total War has been one of the worst performing ones from user activity perspective in its first few weeks, which is one of the main metrics that is relied on to estimate units moved on Steam. So it can be argued that people, at this point, are not buying it.
That's fair.
