they're like an even more skinsuited zombie version of blizzard. critically infested by shitlibs who are incinerating hundreds of millions of dollars while coasting on established IP created by white guys 20+ years ago |

why do companies do this? look at expedition 33 amoging final fantasy. people liked the format! you can always make new franchises instead of reinventing existing ones! |

Innovation and improvement is always welcome but you can tell they were trying to build their base by appealing to people who DON'T LIKE PLAYING GAMES LIKE CIV. Now you lost you r loyal customers and didn't really pick up any new players. It's like the Cracker Barrell story-- you have a solid customer base, don't get lazy and improve where you have to but otherwise stay the course and let the steady stream of revenue continue. |

Date: August 27th, 2025 11:20 AM Author: Abnormal slimy piazza well you can't just create the exact same game. no one would buy NES super mario bros over and over. nor would someone keep buying civ 1 with better graphics.
you have to have some innovation while keeping the core experience in line with the franchise. i think this can lead to BIG CHANGES from ambitous but well-intentioned designers. 3D mario on the m64 was a big departure and now those marios outsell 2D marios. |

Date: August 27th, 2025 2:09 PM Author: orange disturbing stage pozpig These games were always ass. When I played Civ 2 I "won" on deity level by pop rushing and cranking out melee units in 300BC. I barely played any of the later entries because the computer would just start cheating past about 0AD, same as always. Turn up the difficulty and the computer just cheats harder. I keep waiting for someone to make a game in this genre that's actually good and would never even think to play another Civ game.

Date: August 27th, 2025 2:31 PM Author: exhilarant opaque kitchen how is this a question being asked right now? we literally just had the cracker barrel fiasco happen. it just played out before our eyes
these people do this stuff because they're incompetent hacks who don't give a shit about the companies that they "run," and because they face zero consequences for their failures. the goofy DEI shitlibs and females currently "in charge" of Firaxis will go off and be hired elsewhere by other shitlibs and females at some other company
there are never any consequences for the people who make these decisions. always the same story
