What's your point then? Of course they have forums Steam and paradox forums and reddit are the main places to interact with Colossal order. CO has never said they are getting death threats so I don't know where you get that from.

It seems that you're getting misinformed by game journalist blogspam. CO is mad that the mood on their forums is sour and they are getting called out for releasing an undercooked buggy game for full price after months of misleading marketing. Everytime they post an update the comments are filled with sour posts complaining about real issues that have still not been fixed 3 months later.

If you get 10,000 death threats from 10,000 individual accounts, blocking or banning them does fuckall. You still recieved 10,000 death threats. And..... Ive fuckin seen the twitter posts dude, I dont need CO to tell me about them. They likely arent mentioning them to prevent the risk of increasing their volume.

But, again, you are talking like a kiwifarm reject, so Im sure youre one of the people sending this "fanmail"
