Were there some problems with sales of the previous Civ games or something that necessitate this?
Probably just some executive being a typical 9-figure jackass.
Yeah exactly, from my understanding these are some of the most popular and best selling games around so.... completely unnecessary
It's also that their monetization scheme begets piracy. A game and the dlc for it should never cost more than $100
That's a strange hill to die on. I mean sure I will also never buy this game but with inflation it's just a matter of time.
I would much rather have a higher initial cost with no macro transactions in game.
