    On top of the performance issues, I’ve already invested a bunch in the first one with the billions of DLC they had. Starting over and having to buy all the new DLC they’ll most certainly be making for 2 does not sound enticing. lol I’m sticking with 1, probably indefinitely or until the second one runs its course and the complete edition winds up super cheap in a Steam sale or something.

      I did this with Civilization 5 and Civilization 6. As far as I know, Civilization 6 is a perfectly solid game – doesn’t have the C:S2 launch problems – but I’ve already got a bunch of DLC for 5, and I don’t feel like Civilization 6 adds enough over Civilization 5 to warrant going back and buying a bunch of content again.

      I’ve got no problem with the Paradox model of “sell a base game, then keep selling content that’s worth the money”. In fact, I’m pretty happy with it. However, that doesn’t extend to “repurchase content every couple of years for $180 or so”.

        Civ 6 is almost a completely different game from 5 and is super fun. It regularly goes on sale for pretty cheap, I would highly recommend you give it a second look. Plus the only DLC you really need is gathering storm.
