This comment reminds me quite a bit of when the EU4 forums were in a fit about how the game won't survive the update after how bad of a patch had just occurred. I believe Golden Century is a more recent example, but my memory goes back to Mandate of Heaven and Third Rome. Both patches were received pretty poorly and following that, the outrage over the DLC policy caused the steam review rating to sink dramatically.Perhaps the game had already solidified a player base by then and it was pointless to say such things, but I don't think it is fair to say that about Imperator: Rome. The player base is forming and there is enough people I believe who have bought into the concept of this game and want to see it pan out. Of course the first DLC will speak volumes to how strong of a base this game has established, but I don't think it is dead. I think you only detract from this games possibilities by making empty threats.
