The difference lies in Dota 2 being actually playable despite all the bugs it had on its release,so is Civ 6. ToS was literally unplayable for the average player when it released, it’s crowded with bots and lost more than 45k players since its release, it’s currently at 4k average players a day.
I think there’s really nothing else to add, unless the game is so hardcore 666 filled with content and extravaganza that only those 4000 people understand it.
I’ll give you a hint: it’s not.
And by the way, most of the people that still rampage through it it’s because the amount of dissapointment this game brought has no measurement whatsoever.
That being said, I loved the 1000 hours I put into it, but despite all of it, the game is in its diapers and there doesn’t seem to be any will to actually make it better.
