Yyeeessss, I feel the same too.
Nobody should have problem with people who like simple games and like Civ V.
It's personal choice really. Of course, some fans might find newer Revolutions type of games too simple for their taste and think that the Civ games might continue be like that which might drive them to some kind of fear, anger or frustration (feeling of betrayal is common symptom too). Sometimes this might come up as of telling those that like simple games and Civ V that they are ruining the series or by liking these newer Revolutionized incarnations that they have destroyed something unique among gaming world. What an immature thought that is? Can you think anything more...laughable?
I think in that case it's really important to stay mature and remember which game they are dealing with, newer types of games like Civ V or some other game from Civilization series they happened to like.
