DoW3 however is something completely different, that has been rejected, even when more people tried it on release compared to CoH2.ĭoW3 has had 10 times the refund rate coh2 did on release, meaning most people who tried the game for a few days decided afterwards that it had no chance in it's current state. At least CoH2 had a decent and relatively similar experience to it's predecessors, even if it was a shitshow on release in terms of balance and optimization, it still had rts elements to it in general terms, no serious deviations. As you can see even after one month of release compared to CoH2, DoW3 has not only lost it's main fanbase, but almost 90% of it's original playerbase as well, due to moba elements, dow3 experiments gone wrong, pissed off dow1 fanboys, and balance that lacks clarity. DoW3 is the exact opposite in an important factor, keeping the main fanbase alive. Not even CoH2 was as bad as what DoW3 is on release numbers wise, even when 2/3s of the original playerbase was cut on release, CoH2 still maintained, and rebounded, and has at least grown over the years.
