And yes, you can redeem the expansions even if you already have Civ 6 in your library. Patient gamers win once again~

    I got the base game for free a few years ago.

    I played and enjoyed it so much I bought the Platinum edition…on Steam, because it was cheaper there. (And other reasons, but this was the biggest one)

    One of the few games I actually went out and bought thanks to Epic. I feel slightly bad for not buying from them, lol

      I did the same thing with Surviving Mars lol. Played it on Epic, liked it, bought the whole thing and all the DLC on Steam. Actually I did that with Dredge too now that I think about it.

      It’s DRM free, you can download it with heroic, copy the files and then delete your epic account

      Eh, I play everything through Heroic. I haven’t paid a dime to EGS, but I’ve claimed a fair number of games, so they just live alongside my GOG purchases.

      Civ 6 is worth playing… Watch out though. You’ll blink and suddenly have 1000 hours of play time.

      I still play 5. Six wasn’t my cup of tea and 7 is still too new/expensive and - in the views of some people - even worse.

      Did 7 get any better with the updates? I bought it on release but it couldn’t hold my attention for more than an hour, and I haven’t been back.

        Not as far as I know. I haven’t played the latest update but I did a full playthrough on the last one and I finished it but it was such a slog. It’s like the opposite of the other Civ games, where you sit down for 5 minutes and lose an hour, with 7 you sit down and go “right, I’ll play for an hour” and then you check the time and it’s only been 10 minutes lol.

        It’s still infected with Denuvo malware, so even if the gameplay weren’t a disaster the answer would still be “no.”
