WC4 is out, and I am Pissed Off

Note: I rewrote this one completely

Easytech just released another title. The 4th of the World Conqueror titles is now on the Play Store, selling for $0.99.
Should you be excited? Possibly. Am I? Heck no.
Why? It looks like Easytech is going wrong again. First we had GoG2, where Easytech inexplicably created $400 IAPs and dropped Conquest. Then came EW5, where we had to endlessly farm a single commodity to advance. Now comes Easytech's back-to-basics WC3 remake. Now I can tell you think I shouldn't be whining, because WC3 was a good game.
Of course I'm complaining. We've seen too bleeding many WWII titles already, and I'm tired of that. The WC series is all WWII, most War movies are WWII, and the History Channel used to be flooded with WWII stuff until it became a Reality Channel. The point is: enough bloody WWII.
But that's not all, obviously. WC3 is still compatible with the most recent Android, iOS, and Windows devices, so I could just play it now if I wanted to. When I say WC3 and WC4 are hecking similar, I mean it. We've got the same generals with slightly different skills, the same IAPs with the same price tags (which were outrageous then), and largely the same graphics. I don't need this.
Lastly, the rollout was botched. The Play Store app crashes with connection errors according to all the comments, and Easytech's response is to spam the comments with the same copy-pasted response. Obviously, I'm disappointed

On that note, I wanted them to do something like EW5. It had so much potential, but it seems Easytech chose not to capitalize on it. That's how Hollywood does business nowadays, and apparently it's ET's way now too.

I'm not going to download it until its free, but if anyone wants to guest-blog on here about it every now and then, I'll happily have that.

Introduction

Hello, Internet Denizen.

Lovely of you to read this, however you stumbled onto here.
I'm a simian pounding on a keyboard who uses the pseudonym "Picard" (as in Captain Picard). I've been playing games by the Chinese company Easytech for about 2 years now, and this is the latest outlet for my gaming knowledge. You're welcome to read, comment, and maybe I'll entertain guest posters.

Here's what the posting schedule will look like

Saturday and/or Sunday: European War 4 post (can be a guide, a mod, or a guide for a mod).
Monday: No post. I'll release my legacy (aka old) guides until those are all depleted. Then it's nothing to ease your Mondays with
Tuesday: Update on the week's modding projects
Wednesday: Possible update on my Scambaiting quests
Thursday: Variety post (can be an Easytech related guide or mod, a Political rant, or literally anything)
Friday: Possible collection of (mostly bad) jokes I heard or devised this week.
And so it goes.

I hope you stick with me.

By the way, I appreciate you leaving a comment, just to say hi
