I can see it now. Satya Nadella, ceo of microsoft, doing what all ceo normally do, that is talking on the phone in a luxury office on the 50th floor of a Microsoft complex in silicone valley. Suddenly, things start to go haywire. Lights are flashing from every screen in his office, and several security guards burst through the door.

"Sir, theres a situation."

Amy Hood, cfo of microsoft walks through the door.

" Sir, Im afraid the worst has happened. The few faithful followers of aoe3 have banded together on their own private forum. Im sure you know what this means."

A bead of sweat runs down his furrowed brow.

"I had hoped it wouldnt come to this. You know what we must do."

Quickly, Amy and Satya run over to a computer. Bending over it, Satya begins clicking furiously while Amy watches.

"We dont have much time. We must create our own forum before they get to powerful. Our own forum will draw traffic away from their website and to ours."

"Sir, pardon me, but that forum looks kind of....uh.....shitty."

Satya shoots her a frown.

"Like I said, we dont have much time. This will have to do for now."

Satisfied, he looks over his work.

"Its ready." he proclaimed proudly.

The crisis averted, the ceo and cfo return to their respective jobs, but in the back of their minds they plot the next course of action that must be taken when the cult following of aoe3 begins to rise again.

haha thats probably exactly what happened.

It is my opinion that AOE3 had the potential to be a competitive RTS game like starcraft or LoL. Microsoft just had to put the effort into listening to the community and rebalancing it as needed.

This reads like a girl porn thriller, you have a talent. You should do something with it, maybe you be the next bestseller in the 50 shades category!
