[quote who="scratchthepitch" reply="27" id="2862204"]The 2K forums are probably considered a part of their advertising by 2K, so the censorship and fanboys are to be expected. CivFan is different, they're supposed to be somewhat independent. I used to lurk there looking for Civ2&3 info back before Civ4 came out. It was fairly mello back then.

That's nnot a very widespread opinion. Most people I know, hardocre Civ IV lovers and usually Civ V haters, do at least recognize this was a *good* decision.

[quote who="Hanokh1967" reply="25" id="2860294"] Quoting Jon Shafer, reply 16 Greetings all! Proud to be joining the Stardock team, and expect to work on a lot of great projects here in the future. There's been some assumptions here about what my joining Stardock will mean for the games the studio will be putting out from now on. Fear not all - they'll be clearly recognizable as Stardock games. One thing that I will say though, is that Stardock's g
