>Heaton went on to reveal that half of the people who play Total War do so for more than 40 hours. A quarter, he said, play for more than 100 hours.

>Apparently some people at Sega even feel that Creative Assembly offers "too much". "Sometimes a publisher will go, 'Eh, there's 100 hours of gameplay for 40 bucks - maybe that's not the best way to do it,'" said Heaton, to which he replies "it absolutely is".

>Luckily for Creative Assembly, Total War is "perceived throughout Sega as highly successful". But should that change and "we don't sell games," said Heaton, "we will certainly quite happily rethink that policy".

SEGA wants to fuck up the Total War series and The Creative Assembly is fighting tooth and nail to protect it.

They also describe how they have to cut features that are nearly done because SEGA expects a 90 Metacritic score from the game and if something isn't well done, they cut it out completely to avoid a bad review mark.
