clicky for game


When I saw this it started me a thinking. I should have waited. I bought VI at full price 70.00 when it came out. Its been sitting on my hard drive. Only twice have i opened it up, did not play a game (just tinkered with it). So being curious I went to steam seeing a gigantic update, the Maya and Columbian pack. am downloading it as i write this. There was a charge for it the last time I visited Steam a year ago. I also saw I have an update to Crusader KingII. In this time of shutdown. I still have not played either one. Some games I have to force myself to play (I might like them). Is what i'm experiencing classified as being a creature of habit? Only interested in games I like. Why won't I branch out?!!!
Its telltale that i don't visit steam.

Civ VI is not worth it. They would have to make massive improvements for me to ever buy another in this series again, Civ VI imo broke a great series of games.

At release - agree
with the DLCs - I find it quite good, but not the best Civ game

Uhm...it's free. I spent $0.00 yesterday when I bought it. [;)]

Well free is hardly asking too much. I likely won't care for it, but now I can find out leisurely.

CIV 6 is awesome!! Like most on here, we like the hard games. I am addicted to HOI 4 and I will be to Shadow Empires when that comes out., etc.., But I always come back to CIV 6. It is not a beer and pretzel game, but if you know what you are doing, it is hard to lose. Again, GREAT GAME, with so much to do. I saw that it is Free (because I am playing Old World on Epic, which is fantastic).., I wonder how or why they are offering such a mega game for free? I do not get it.

Hmm, I am wondering how many DLCs come with it, they can be pricey, but worth every penny? I have all of them including the new one.., interesting.

The version Epic is giving away is just the base game; no DLCs included.

Not sure how they can give away Civ VI this week, and GTA5 last week. Must be costing them a bit.

And next week another Mystery game to be given away. Rumor is their next two free games will be: Borderlands The Handsome Collection (starting May 28) and ARK: Survival Evolved (starting June 4). Previous rumors about Civ VI being free were accurate so, these two may end up free as well. Neither one a wargame, but still free [:D]

When a business's product isn't a physical item on a shelf, it's not hard to 'give it away'.

I noticed that the doc and expansions are not going cheap. I'm sure giving away the base game has not hurt them much if at all.

40% of ownership is chinese. They want your business so they give away games and you install their software on YOUR computer.

You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.
