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

I am burned out with all games and I only buy a game when it is seriously discounted. You are like me with games, I downloaded Civ 6 and tried it, same as Civ 5

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.

It is my understanding that a tinfoil hat negates all Chinese attempts at stealing my brain. [;)]

Chinese company Tencent bought 40% of Epic in 2012.
