So what exactly is universe sandbox anyroad? I can't watch the trailer at the moment on my mobile and I'm not exactly sure how you would interact simulating universe.

Im REALLY tempted to buy Anno 2070, but the case that the game has 2 DRM systems (Tages and UPlay) is fucking awful. UPlay is OKAY even though I dislike it, but TAGES on top of UPlay is terribad.

Meh, I will just spare my money. Sory Ubit, but if you had removed at least TAGES (Uplay would still be good to remove too), you would have received my money.

No matter how tempted I am to buy a game, DRM systems on top of each other is fucking awful and leave me no choice than to NOT buy the game.

The only game I have done that to is GTA IV, but I was dumb at that time and didn't research better.

it has 3 layers of DRM, which is completely absurd

Modbot broke 10,000 giveaways some time over the last two days.

Also I got engaged, which I am optimistically looking at as an excuse to play through my backlog since I'm broke as hell and won't have any money for gaming for the next year or so LOL.

In voting related news, Universe Sandbox is really cool if you basically want a toy to model the universe. I like fast-forwarding through time and watch all of the planets get ejected from the solar system.

The best part of Universe Sandbox is destroying everything.

Congrats! And also congrats to Modbot.
 
I remember civ fans complaining about Civ 5 being heavily flawed at launch (terrible AI, etc). Have they improved the game much since then?

I wasn't PC gaming and didn't catch news of the Humble Bundle until the Bastion Bundle iirc.

Ah, that'll do it. It fell off the map in bundles a while back, but for a time, it was in /everything/. If you go on CAG, I'm sure you can find someone selling keys for 25 cents or something.

Is getting engaged a new development? If so, congratulations!

I think the biggest complaints were that Civ V vanilla was pretty sparse compared to Civ IV Complete. Those complaints have long since been addressed with G&K and BNW adding religion and trade and really revamping culture.

It's a weird "game" of sorts. You can change physics or graphical effects, so you can just gawk at the pretty universe, or make things start crashing into each other, etc.

edit: congrats king dog.

AI is a hell of a lot better now but it can still be kinda sucky at times (they absolutely cannot deal with navies still for some reason) but it is a lot less backstabby with notable exceptions for the civs that are more prone to it (Siam, Attila)
