What did they mean with this?
They make a new total war game

Dylan Barnes
That GW has a terrible sense of timing.
Cameron Russell
yes, but I don't think that that is the case here.
I think there are 2 reasons:
1) developing a game cost time, and at the start of development there wasn't a lot of lore for AoS
2) the entire range of current Warhammer fantasy videogames are centered around the actual end times (virmintide even has it in the title.
Parker Wood
If TWWH interested anyone in the hobby,
AoS makes it objectively much easier for them to actually act on that interest.
Get over it WFBabby

It has 1.5 million owners on Steam right now.
GW went full retard.
Kevin Roberts
CA would never even be interested in making AoS game. It's not a setting for them.

Of course they focus on end times, its the only time they've had story progression and changeable balances of power.
Jason Miller
The original series pitch included 3 games, and was greenlit back when WHFB was still ongoing with GW.
When GW decided to toss it out and make AoS, they kept it WHFB because the lore for AoS at the time was a confusing mesh of shit. So now Total War is Alternate Universe where the End Times can be averted and the future not set in stone.
>triggered AoSfag
OP isn't even trying to say WHFB is better, he just wants to know why GW would toss it out before they finished their line up of tie in games.
If you're going to shitpost, at least be relevant

>at the time
You seem to imply that right now it isn't anymore
