As someone who has put hundreds of hours in Civ VI and every previous iteration on PC, the Switch edition is terrible. The controls make it much slower to get through a game, and it crashes frequently for no apparent reason. Add to that the lack of expansions and it’s officially the only Civilation game I regret…

MS sold Asheron’s Call to Turbine, the studio that developed the game, years ago. The problem is WB turned Turbine into a Mobile game studio and is selling off the other MMOs they created while shuttering AC.

Get a harness, our cat hasn’t managed to houdini his way out of it yet.
