Bait & Switch

[Dark_Jedi06]

No, I'm enjoying Civ V and eagerly awaiting the first major patch.

I'm sorry that you're not.

My guess is they logged out of Steam. You don't have to be online, but steam does have to be running.

If Steam wants to update itself and there is a problem it will lock you out of the game if you don't get the complete patch. Nowhere in this thread does it mention me not enjoying the game.

It would only be "bait and switch" if a superior product was forced on you at a higher price. Civ 5 is "bait, bite, and landing net": they dangle a bait, the customer bites, and is landed. He may not like what he bit, but that's his (read: my) fault for snapping at a lure which was attractively presented but proved wholly non-nutritious.
It remains to be seen if a superior product, that being a version of Civ 5 which actually deals with more than a few of the issues listed elsewhere in this forum, ever appears.
