If they were trolling us I’d still be mad but at least the game wouldn’t be dead.
I think we all want this to be a big trolling event where it was all a big “lie” and with actual updates on the horizon. Better than it being real/serious.

Just paying my respect
I can only hope for a zombie-esque aoe3 hand claw out of ground and arise again one day.

Let me ask you and your boss:
How many times in your school, work and life did you get away from breaking promises with only “I understand you are angry that I broke my promises”?
How many times did someone do the same to you? How did you feel?
I understand this sounds hostile to you. Full stop. Don’t blame me.

I will quit if my boss breaks his promises! In fact, this is a violation of my human rights!

Got so pissed, reading the news. Last year for me was so bad and I was so excited for the promised DLC.
Thinked 2025 would be cool atleast in that. Feels like a kick in the balls. Iam just sad.

Yup, it has left a bit of a scar for all us AOE3 players. It’s been a little while now, however for me certainly, I’m still full of annoyance about the whole situation. I just hope at some point, they might look at it again - there is a mass of AOE3 players who play AOE3 because it is the ‘quirky’ one of the bunch and like a horrible stain, they ain’t going to shift to the newest game - surely it may be worth making some money out of us stubborn gits?
Heck, there’s been an obvious AOE3 influence on the most recent non-AOE3 DLCs, which actually have been a bit divisive and thoses who ain’t AOE3 fans feel a bit irked by it ( and as an AOE2 fan as well, explorer style hero units ain’t got a place there!), so it would be nice to keep all that stuff in AOE3.
Anway, the news still sucks and it has continued to have an effect on purchasing decisions within AOE.

Back in the day we had a game. Then a DLC and a ‘gold’ package.
Then a second DLC and a ‘platinum’ package.
And that was it. Done. Finished. NO MORE.
I’m grateful for all the content we Age fans have gotten.
I thought it would be the pinnacle of the definitive version, since this year marks 20 years since the release of the original base game.

Yes, and the fact that it’s on the 20th anniversary of the original game hurts even more…
Yes, it’s ironic… they cancel the DLC for AoE 3, but the other DLCs for the other games include things from AoE 3… who understands them?
Of course, I mean, if they had announced that they would stop adding content to AoE 3 after releasing the Mediterranean DLC in 2022 or the Baltic DLC now in 2025 to focus on AoM, nobody would have complained because AoE 3 was going on a high note… announcing it along with the cancellation of the Baltic DLC was shooting themselves in the foot…

Why? There were Heroes In the first vanilla campaigns, remember the famous “Joan of Arc”.
Campaigm scenarios != RMS
As separate game modes it’s fine.

I am realizing that they never even cared to reply to any of the community’s comments; they just went radio silence after this… so sad and disrespectful

They are doing the same now with AoE2’s outrageous DLC.

Maybe the Michael Mann this is culprit Neglect aoe3de he has attach aom’s dlc,aoe2’s dlc and aoe4’s dlc three projects and in order to Valuing commercial interests leads to criticism and anger from players but only those who are stepping down from the world’s edge position of responsible person So that the next new world’s edge leader can continue Shannon Loftis spirit to aoe3de is revival

I just found out about this. What’s wrong with them? This isn’t my favorite video game, but it’s great, and I play it from time to time.
