The original owner of Galactic Civilization 2 basically said the same thing. He also wrote the Gamers’ Bill of Rights.
So of course GalCiv3 did the exact opposite, removed a key feature (milky way map) that was in the first 2 so they could sell it as an overpriced DLC, and made as many DLCs as they could (though not nearly as bad as Paradox or EA).
I don’t know who owns Stardock Entertainment now, if the owner sold it, sold out, or got hostile takeovered, but now they’re just like all the other big corporate assholes.
