word of mouth is their main source of advertising...

the only thing they have is nostalgic fans of who some will feel ripped off and voice their complaints to others who will in turn not want to waste $$$ on an defective product such as aoe2 ''hd''


if anything...the game developers should have bent over backwards to insure a quality game  that promotes itself....all i can see from this is a quick cash grab with little to no interest in future support.

Well the AOE2 is still in Top 5 on Steam. If word of mouth would have benn so bad, people would not buy it in such quantities.  I am also quite active in an AOE2 die hard community forum (though i don't play it) and the upcoming patch solves many issues most people complain about there. And the then following announced bugfixes for future patches hit the rest. THough the other issue sill remains for still acitve AOE2 players: That people are not really skilled, who play the HD version

Also it shows finally that the AOE series got into the hands of a product manager who sees the real value of the AOE series. Else i think they would have made such re-release much earlier. Also the sales numbers are a good motivation to develop another AOE game
