Video game companies, including CA, almost never react to any sort of leaks or rumours. I don't see why CA's silence is surprising or alarming there.
This is bad press. They managed to regain the love of their community and playerbase with Thrones of Decay, and they stand to lose it all over again. Keeping silence is damaging their brand, at this point.

Companies don't react to leaks even if it's bad press. I agree that they shouldn't remain silent but they won't and there's nothing surprising about this.

How long did it take before CA announced a response to 4.0 when the shitstorm around SoC was at a fever pitch? How long did it take before CA put an official date to ToD when everyone was losing their minds?
Silence and lack of communication is and has always been CA’s m.o. If CA not responding to a single content creator’s leaks is scaring you, or the fact that content might not be what you want is scaring you, you might be in a bit too deep.
CA should be better at communicating and if they had released a roadmap at a reasonable pace this wouldn’t be a problem, but that’s CA and that’s nothing new (unfortunately).

Exactly. I've almost never seen companies publicly react on rumours.
Pretty sure the only time game companies actually respond to leaks is when whole trailers, gameplay videos or stuff like that gets leaked, not wild rumours from a youtuber.
Would it be easier for CA to simply craft a small message debunking the rumours? Yes, but we are talking about CA, lack communication from the their part is expected

No, the scariest part is how many of you guys give a damn about that video.
Theres been smoke and rumours about some of it for quite a while. There was a thing couple months ago I believe where there was a rumour that Monkey King would be coming as his own mini-faction.
As I mentioned in another spot, the community manager has already closed a few threads here because they were talking about leaks, especially some from LoTW. It is clearly weird that they have not closed all of the threads talking about LoTW leak. Not even commenting about it, but just closing them stating they don't want the community to talk about leaks, whether they are true or not.

CA should have shared news regarding 5.1 and Roadmap with us by now—a simple teaser on their 5.0.4 hotfix would suffice and debacle any LotW leaks or anything else.

You can tell that Legend never held an honest job in his life by how ignorant he is of corporate culture making his leaks sound completely unbelievable.
Some low level dev isn't going to have any sort of financial sales data, that's stuff for the decisions makers and the guys collecting those numbers are not going to risk their job (and a hefty lawsuit for breach of contract and openly damaging behaviour towards the company) giving them to some YT loudmouth like LotW to blare into the world. Some low level pencil pusher isn't going to know what's going on during negotiations with another company, especially not that company making any sort of open political statement like Legend claims GW did. Like hell GW would tell CA "no more Kislev stuff because of the war in Ukraine". GW wouldn't be making such statements in the first place, they'd just tell CA "no more Kislev stuff because we don't want any". They hold the IP, they don't have to justify themselves.
That people fall for this hook, line and sinker is pretty darn depressing. I can only guess some people simply want to be outraged.

Why would CA comment on some ridiculous forum drama?
This isn't just some forum drama, everyone's talking about the leaks regardless on the platform. It is making a lot of noise, not that it's going to change anything.
