There hasn't been a need for a new Civ since IV so I already wasn't gonna buy it, but now I'm gonna not buy it even harder.
I play freeciv (an open source civ 3.5 clone) much more often than civ 5 which I bought. I'll agree with you. Newer civ isn't all that attractive.
Civ 6 seems kind of dumbed down to me from previous versions. Besides, I've been having more fun with Crusader Kings 3 lately.
Yeah... Civ 1, 2, 3, and 4 were all good - for different reasons. Civ 5 was where the design decisions stopped being about gameplay and started being about maximising profit. Making the game functional and fun was lower priority to making paid DLC. Players buy the buggy and unfinished game... then pay more to fix it piecemeal with the DLC. Such is the power of brands and advertising.
