@kbaily Wouldn't be an issue if Nintendo had given the Wii U anything close to next gen hardware. The problem is that it is expensive to think of porting a next gen game to the Wii U, and so it needs to be able to sell well there to be worth it.
I can almost guarantee you that if Nintendo decided to stop making consoles with 6 year old tech, more devs would support it even if it weren't selling like crazy.
@max-hit I dumped like 40 hours into Civ 4 and its expansions and I think in that time I completed maybe like 5 full games. I loved it, and I'm sure it would go faster if I put another hundred hours into the game to really learn what I was doing.
But it's just too much of a time sink for me, and I'm guessing that's true for many others as well. I haven't tried Civ 5 so it's possible it's quicker, but I'm guessing it's somewhat similar.
Anyways, any web of human relationships is going to have a power structure, rather formally laid out or not... that's just how people work. I don't know why this is surprising.
Civilization is one of those franchises that makes me wish I was back in high school or college so that I would have the free time necessary to actually make it worth purchasing :\
