Only problem is that it looks like it was developed for the SNES.

Hahah this is why I got 100% turned off by Civ VII. I played humankind and it was not good. It was fun for a bit but got stupidly repetitive and they never ever managed to polish it to completion. The core game is amazing, the battles especially, but they never managed to balance it correctly and it just kept being boring by mid game.

Then Firaxis comes by and literally plagiarized the entire game. It’s the exact same thing down to the core mechanics. I’m amazed they haven’t gotten sued by the Humankind devs, but maybe they worked out a deal. The whole Civ VII thing just reeks of laziness.

They’ve released a ton of content and game enhancements since 5 years ago. I just picked it up a couple of months ago and I’m floored by how good this game is. Yes, it’s all randomized/procedurally generated and that’s why it’s so vast. The story is okay but not AAA amazing, but definitely check it out if it’s been a while.

20 years might be pushing it, but he’d be gone 34ish years by that point. He wasn’t much of a philanthropist. Is there any Steve Jobs Parks? Plazas? His early death didn’t lend him much time to create a legacy. He’ll be known in business and tech scenes, sure, but the pop culture knowledge of him will be negligible. Does the general public know about the CEO of IBM 35+ years ago? The current crop of CEOs are like WWE wrestlers in their persona compared to Jobs. Being present for the smartphone revolution was something, but does anyone remember the CEO of the company that introduced the laptop? Jobs wasn’t a Carnegie or Rockefeller.

And that’s why he’s 75 and happy and Jobs is dead and no one will know his name in 20 years.

He probably owns his property already, so that’s a huge chunk, but the point still stands.

Games pretty old and it has a show about it too, but yeah. Big ass spoiler lol

I’m not a gaming stats expert but if they don’t track the mobile and f2p game spend with the general gaming spend, then that’s kind of a bogus stat to draw the article’s conclusion from. Most “mobile gaming” people I know spend more money on those games than I do on Steam with an incredibly long backlog of games I’ll never play.

It’s actually less boring now that they use a pitch clock to speed things up. Some people hate it, but I don’t usually want to be stuck at a baseball game for 5 hours because the pitchers are having a bro-off. My team also sucks lol.

They’re spending their time scrolling. The GenZ equivalent of television. GenZ is also getting older. The median age is over college graduate age. They’re simply working more or doing other things besides video games. Not everyone is a Paradox gamer. I’m sure the GenZ Paradox gamers, PC gamers, and FPS/sports enthusiasts are all still buying the same games. But the people growing out of it might buy 1-2 per year and play ~10 hrs per month. The “youngest GenZ” is about 13 years old now.

lol they’re Australian? Jfc
