MODERATORS
i mean civ is never really worth buying until they put out a complete edition with all the features they removed so they could slowly sell them back to you as dlc.
I find this argument really annoying / entitled.
Are they supposed to increase the scope of every iteration in the series and take an extra few years to make each one, or are they supposed to never release DLC? which would make you happy?
I don't think you accurately read their comment.
They're not spending years in development planning and creating new, exciting content. They're holding back basic features from the beginning and selling them to you over time for many times the base game's price.
Yes because it's a new game, putting all the features they developed in the previous base game and years of DLC would take them a long time. This is how software development works. They don't just have everything feature toggled off....
You make it sound like they start from scratch with every new game.
Many core mechanics are different in each game, and even if they kept the code identical for the DLC mechanics the bulk of the work is asset creation, balancing, etc.
There's no universe in which you're right
They are right in this universe actually, just look at the sims, 4 didn't even had infancy at launch, the baby just became a kid.
and that's greedy and why i don't play that series.
