I’ve bought and paid for every civ game since civ3…
I even paid for civ4 twice. Boxed CD and on steam… And now you’re going to treat me like a criminal with shitty DRM??? Welp, i guess i’m not buying Civ7, Sid…
No more turns…
As a Linux user, Civ 6 post launch support made me swear off of buying a 2k game ever again. Linux users got an objectively worse version of the game, and the fact they couldn’t be bothered to add the 2k account exclusive leader to the Linux version shows they really don’t care about customer loyalty. Rumors also say this game won’t support mods, which is insane, as mods made Civ 6 playable with an actually functional UI. It’s a shame, as I love the Civ series.
For the mods at least, the dev interview at PAX clearly had a moment when one guy said "the possibilities of combination with civilizations switching is going to be higher, especially with the modding community adding custom civs.
But since they said a huge part of the playerbase is console, I’m guessing mods won’t be using the steam workshop but the launcher so that consoles can have mods…
As for Linux support yeah I would like to hope, maybe the stats of Civ6 on the steamdeck could push them to make it compatible but if they have denuvo I doubt it…
I’m guessing mods won’t be using the steam workshop but the launcher so that consoles can have mods…
Civ 7 won’t be using the 2k launcher. They announced that when they removed it from civ 6.
lol.
What in the history of electronic entertainment makes you think that they’re done with doing the shitty thing now that they stopped doing it once?
I’ve started playing with proton. Many say it users the GPU better and you gets better graphics but I didn’t notice anything.
What it changed is that Linux version is like many years without updates, but with proton you have the windows version which is compatible with all mods and let’s you run game of the month.
Were there some problems with sales of the previous Civ games or something that necessitate this?
It’s also that their monetization scheme begets piracy. A game and the dlc for it should never cost more than $100
Sometimes I wonder why companies make decisions like this. But then I remember just how many completely braindead executives are out there.
At least it’s not denuvo anti cheat but their anti tamper is bad enough. Civ 6 is my most played game and I guess I’ll have more time to play it now after all… It’s really too bad I was very excited to try out the new features they’ve added.
If you like the new features you can always just go ahead and play some Endless Legends, most of it is from there
Endless legend is undoubtedly a great game but I never liked the hero thing they have going on unfortunately.
You might want to try Humankind then. Sounds like Civ 7 is basically copying the ideas from it anyway
