Sic! This exactly describes my motivation, too.My experience has been the opposite- games which inspire such loyalty create veteran players who will buy subsequent versions ‘to support’ the company and work.

Only to add for me is, that I am also looking, if there are interesting new features in new versions of the Civ series, that I would want to add to my Civ 3 mods if this should be possible. About Civ 5 and 6 from my point of view there was nothing that I would have liked to add to my Civ 3 mods (https://forums.civfanatics.com/thre...r-all-these-years.676431/page-2#post-16312711). From Civ 7 I would like to add the navigable rivers, but unfortunately this is not possible with Civ 3 (in Civ 2 ToT with TOTPP this is possible, but not working well).
But Civ 7 makes civs in my eyes next to obsolete with its handling of switching civs (and a dominant overinterpretation of immortal rulers, so I don´t like immortal rulers at all) - and a game called Civilization without civs as in Civ 1 -6 that at least are connected to the history in fixed places of the earth, in my eyes is a "no-go". So Civ 7 until now is the only version of the Civ series that I have not bought yet.
