Civ VI Delux Edition Disgrace

[🎀Happy Neyka🎀]

I merely want to state my disappointment with what has been going on with firaxis and Civ6 Deluxe edition and preposterous dlcs.

I'm talking about buying deluxe edition, pay way way over the top, REASONABLY assuming that deluxe edition will include at list one decent expansion for civ6 that will decently add some additional gameplay and surely buying on its own be expansive.

And yet what's happening is beyond my content. You paid quite a price for deluxe edition hoping to support devs and get some more stuff in return later on and what they do is feeding you with DLCs that are at worse for 1$ (or euro for that matter) at best this doesn't even qualify for been paid for at all.

They feed you with civilization + scenario and grinning and saying "we promised you extra free stuff, well there you go" and once they will finish feeding everyone who bought Delux edition with empty stuff for the game and will "full fill deluxe edition promises" they going to release a full polished true expansion that we all will have to pay for.

This is low, this is scum - am surely can expect this from paradox, from EA, Ubisoft but I have never ever in my life expected such low tactics from firaxis!!! Nor was there ever an indication of such mind set before with previous civs, even beyond earth was exemplary and consistent.

I don't understand for coming up with this low policy to fool people that surely love the game and have great respect for the devs. I mean you LOOK at The Witcher 3 game, they have released so many dlcs for free and you only paying for expansions that so much expanding game play and add hrs up on hrs, beyond this respect for players they have a season pass that is in some way equivalent to buying deluxe edition.

Am simply disappointed. One last thing bothers me is that some civs are made just to please potential buyers in curtain country. How come Netherlands and Portugal are city-states and Australia a full civilization? Who has heritage, older culture and contributed to the world in all ways possible - a colony of Australia or Interdependent countries such as Netherlands and Portugal?

WTF you are drinking over there at firaxis? What the f*** happened to you over night? Have you been bought out by some corp. did I miss some thing ???

From now on my full suport of buying a fully priced game ends for you. As you to me so am I to you. If you have no respect for me why should I support you?

Truly did not expact such a thing from firaxis.

I did read what I was buying. It said I'd get new civs, leaders, maps and scenarios - four post launch DLC packs at a discount. I compared this to Civ 5's initial DLC which was similar to gauge my expectations.

I was expecting something like four scenarios, and eight new civs, and a couple of map options split over four packs that are essential double the content and price of those packs Civ 5 offered - and something like a 75% discount over buying separately.

Thus far what has been delivered has been miles below expectation - we're three of four DLCs packs in and only have two new civs and three scenarios (two of which are half-cooked). To top it off, unless the final DLC is really quite substantial it's either going to be woefully over-priced, or I won't be seeing the discount I was promised when I bought the digital deluxe edition.

I'm not sure how you went from V's '1 civ per pack' to 'surely VI will have 8 civs in 4 packs'. That's called unrealistic expectations. Civ V didn't even have 8 standalone civ packs in all its lifetime...
At minimum this Deluxe edition would get you not much; few civs, scenarios and maps. Which is what the description says and seemingly what we're getting since the DLC model is very much the same as that of V. It's clearly a bad deal unless you absolutely love new civs, scenarios and maps. Yet for some insane reason a lot of people bought this season pass and don't like those 3 things.

Why the ♥♥♥♥ did you get it then? There is no scam going on here. Just a company giving a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ deal, and a bunch of folks buying it and expecting the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ world. Can't blame the company here, really. Gamers show time and time again they buy anything, even if it's wrapped in vague promises and hot air.

Civ5 had a few single civ+scenario packs, one double civ+scenario pack, and one DLC with wonders and a scenario.

Here we have two single civ+scenario, one DLC with natural wonders and CS and a scenario, and we've been told the next DLC will have two civs.

Looks pretty comparable to me.
