Is it going to be broken on Mac? Or maybe a random update a year into its life will break it on Mac?
I used to love playing Civ on GeForce NOW, because I could have 16 AI civs and turns took less than a second. But then 2K games decided I shouldn’t be able to do that, even though I was playing a licensed copy I bought from them on Steam, because they didn’t like the computer I was using to run it. So they removed all their games from GeForce NOW (and NVidia complied for some reason, despite the service being a cloud computer where users can play their own licensed games). But they offered no alternative – there is no 2K cloud I can pay for. Then a few months later 2K pushed an update that broke the game on 2020 MacBook Pro despite working fine before, and blamed it on incompatible hardware.

- xenospn 2y agoWorks fine on both my 2019 i9 MacBook Pro and M2 MBP.
- pragmatic 2y agoJust a note, iPad version is surprisingly good. However it too is prone to breakage. You can even run modes on the iPad version like better trade screen etc, policy card yields, etc. Wish the map pins one worked too. It’s the one I miss the most Z
- ben_jones 2y agoI bought it for iOS and it failed to load on my iPhone 15 pro despite showing compatibility and successfully installing (multiple times). I have no clue how they can sell games that don’t even start and the App Store allows it. Edit: looks like it was fixed in May 2024 including a reset of its App Store reviews? So you can sell a product that doesn’t work at all and Apple will flush all your bad reviews when you get it working? Nice.
