After the widespread criticism of the remaster of Total War: Shogun 2, Sega and Creative Assembly decided to temporarily stop selling the Complete Edition of this game.

This decision was made following the negative reaction of the players to the release of the new version; A version that faced many criticisms about technical quality and various problems since its release.

The story started when Total War: Shogun 2 – Complete Edition was made available to players, but the initial reception was not very satisfactory. Many users protested the problems of the updated version and registered numerous negative reviews on the Steam platform. As we reported earlier, the performance of this version was far from the expectations of the players and its release brought a wave of dissatisfaction instead of satisfying the fans.

Now Sega and Creative Assembly have responded to these reactions.

Statement from Sega and Creative Assembly:

We understand that Total War: Shogun 2 – Complete Edition failed to meet your expectations and our desired standards. We have seen and considered your feedback, comments and criticisms.

We also agree that the current gaming experience is still not up to par.

For this reason, we are working with the distribution platforms of the game to temporarily stop selling this version and make the original version of the game available again. In the meantime, we will investigate the existing problems. Players who have previously purchased the game can still access and experience it.

Working closely with our developer partner, we are working to identify the causes of these issues, provide the necessary improvements, and ensure that Shogun 2 Complete Edition meets the quality standards expected by fans of the Total War series.

At this time, it's unclear how long it will take to fix the issues in the new version or when the game will go on sale again. Also, exact details about the possible fixes and the developers' plan to fix the bugs have not been released yet.

However, Sega's recent decision shows that widespread criticism from the gamer community can force companies to rethink their product offerings. It remains to be seen if the developers can fix the problems of Total War: Shogun 2 – Complete Edition and provide a version worthy of the name of this popular strategy game.

Well, at least take responsibility, I really wish all companies and studios were like Sega, but unfortunately they are more like Build a Rocket Boy, the maker of MindsEye, and they owe everyone.

Look at the name of the company, you only know what the output is, a long and strange name

They should accept the responsibility by completely removing the remastered version and instead of putting out a remastered version, upgrade the original version, such as higher frames, DLSS and FSR, and manually increase the quality of the textures, so that the original version can still be played, like what CD Project did with Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk and put different versions for download.
