Dawn of War 3 is a bit of an enigma. It's the followup to some of the best strategy games of the last decade, but it fell completely flat. What the hell happened?

Some people are content to blame Dawn of War 3's failure on MOBAs, but The Architect isn't so convinced. He thinks that the issues with DoW 3 come from a lack of understanding of how to make a good sequel. Clearly this is the work of a xenos threat most foul. BY THE MIGHT OF THE EMPEROR IT SHALL BE PURGED!
