Buying civ 6 DLC on steam or Epic games

[Gengu]

I am planning to get the civ 6 DLC but i am not sure i should get it on which platform. Please help

if you got the game on steam, you should buy it on steam, if you got the game on epic you should buy them on epic.

Just want to remind you that right now the cross-platform online does not work properly, meaning that if you want to play with friends on steam it (if you get it on epic) it wont work.

Actually i wanted to know whether is buying the game on epic game store worth it or not because i cant access the the workshop although it is 10usd cheaper than on steam

You would save $15 dollars if you buy it right now on Epic (for free) compared with waiting for the next big sale here on Steam. That $15 is going by the lowest price it has been available here on Steam in the past. Of course the longer you wait the cheaper it will be on Steam eventually. It is all about how long you can wait.

The advantage of Steam is its workshop, which Epic does not have, at least right now. Who knows when/if they will actually have something like that up and running, even compared to the somewhat spotty service Steam Workshop gives you.

oh, well the only difference is really the workshop i think. Not sure if they got any modding thing on EGS yet. So if you want mods, probably just get it on steam.

Oh, is that a bundle price that has more than just the base game?

By the way, about mods. You CAN install mods manually in Civ 6, you just have to go through the hassle of finding them. That all depends on each mod/modder, some may only be here on Steam, others likely have places like github to go download the mods.

That is true too. But personally i would gladly pay a bit more for quality of life stuff. 1 click and it downloads and install it to the game + updates by itself.

I mostly agree. I just wish Valve would throw a bit more time/money into the Workshop, seems like it hasn't seen any improvements in either features or reliability in 5 or more years.

It's not like they aren't raking in billions per year, they could throw a couple coders at the workshop for a few months!

yeah steam and valve isn't perfect. There are still things that could be better and updated, but in general i'm still happy with steam and what it gives us.
