Can't believe the masses that still play Civ5

Hey I'm one of those players! And it is all thanks to that thread about the sale posted in this very subforum. Thank god for Steam advertisements on the Kodex

Well if you where a TRUE codexer you would have gotten it when it came out like me.

Ha, reminds me that I've bought this game 3 times now. When it came out, in a bargain bin and now, on Steam. People are always stealing the game away from me for some reason.

Yeah, do people seriously think that they are sending a message to the publishers?

Surprisingly, yes. That message might easily be corrupted by marketing ("herp derp let's make XCOM an FPS"), but I think it's fair to say that publishers do examine the interest in older titles, even ones as giant and soulless as Activision, though whether they'll ever act on it is probably extremely unlikely. I don't think you'd be seeing a Dead Space from EA if it wasn't for continued interest for System Shock over the past decade, for instance, or Dragon Age if it wasn't for the massive Baldur's Gate following, and just about every single Sim game released was a direct result of the success of SimCity. Sure, most games inspired by long-lived classics don't end up well, but you'd have to be pretty damn cynical to think publishers don't pay attention to the sales of their own products. I mean, this isn't hard. Game sells, game gets sequel, even if it's some shitty nostalgia exploitation trash.
