  • You don’t like the game? Don’t play it, go on and enjoy the hundreds of thousands of other games out there rather than linger and whine until the devs cater to your whims.

    Counterpoint: Humankind already exists. It exists as a similar but alternative game series to Civilization, which is a good thing. Variety is the spice of life. Turning Civilization into a clone of a completely different game in the one way most at odds with its own identity is a bad thing. Civilization is a unique game series doing something different from other 4x games. Losing that unique style of game is no benefit to consumers.

    You already have Humankind, the devs of Civilization don’t have to cater to your whims by just cloning Humankind. If you don’t like that they’re turning Civilization back into a Civilization game, then don’t play a Civilization game. You have Humankind, just go play that.













  • Did they state this, or is it a guess? Most corporate desktop users aren’t even the ones making the corporate purchases

    Yes they stated this.

    If desktop users are valued more, it’s because advertisers pay more for them.

    Because the advertisers thing they’re corporate users at work

    If a store is willing to pay more to advertise to a desktop user, but also tries to prevent them from using the site

    Corporate advertisers are more willing to pay to advertise to corporate buyers. Non-corporate, non-business personal users are not corporate buyers in this context so they benefit more from funneling them into an app for purposes unrelated to advertising to them.
