Kutuzov said:Of course, Maddjinn did not think that the game was 'unplayable crap' so it's not really relevant.
Quite true.
Kutuzov said:I honestly don't see what more you could reasonably have expected to see.
Well, of course--we live in reality, where developing a video game costs money.
Kutuzov said:Use this experience with Civ BE to determine if you are one of the people who can be fooled all of the time and wake up to that fact. It's YOUR personal flaw and you're going to get 'fooled' over and over again until you change your habits. You know NOW. You didn't have this self-knowledge before this experience. Take responsibility for your own actions. Firaxis did not take the money from your credit card account. You voluntarily paid for the game and so it is your responsibility from this day onwards on to make sure that you do your very best to research a new purchase more carefully in the future to avoid the obvious distress you and others are experiencing.
Well, I agree 100% with you. I didn't buy Civ BE so this can't be directed at me
I'm certainly not experiencing any distress, except a lament for when tablet gaming didn't effect the business model.. I guess it's the crotchety old man in me I suppose there might be benefits to the whole "tablet" thing, I suppose we'll see whether Starships proves to be a manifestation of them.
I do wish they'd do Civ 6 instead of whatever they're doing, too. But I'll survive. I can keep playing IV, and V if I ever find I want to again (which I probably will when I can get a PC that can run it without incredibly long loading screens etc.)
