Oh please, give me a break.

You cannot simply argue that implementing a better difficulty system does not make sense cause not a lot of players use the current badly implemented difficulty system.
These reasons are totally backwards, and again. Why so many people feels entiled to say that Fxs, should indeed not improve the game. Cause the players (we) are not gonna care anyway.?
I will say it again, we know that here most people cares about it, because we say it constantly. We know the reviews of the game care about it cause they usually speak of these points.
Why then insist in repeating that Fxs should indeed not care? Why keep undermining our goals? And why do it in the name of the players when we know as players that this is not what we think and also when we know nothing about why other players are not so engaged with the game as we are? Maybe it is cause they find it boring due to the lack of a difficulty progression and a decent AI? Naaah players dont care about AI and difficulty and therefore, Fxs should not care either...
Yeah, saying Fxs should not spend money to give us what we want cause we are not the customers Fxs should care about, really helps too. Furthermore, this is completely false.
You dont know how much investment this requires. I explained this should only be a fraction of the current AI cost, that is probably less than 1% of the cost of the game.
Second, you dont know how many players a better game would attract. This is insane, why not then say: oh you know, how many players really enjoy nowadays the Civ soundtrack?, today an average fan will probably only care about dubstep, why bother? How many civ players know the real name of the cities of old civilizations? Why bother? How many players actually finish a game with diplomatic or cultural victories? Why bother? ...
Definitely the message we want to make across here is Fxs should add less content, and care only about the numbers... (Sarcasm alert)... It looks to me that this is the point of many people here, though.
I really dont get it. Why people here keeps doing this? Why keep validating a game design that is the opposite of what we want with reasons that are obviously wrong? Could this be madness?
If it is, I hope is only Christmas madness.
