Humankind can't be the 'Civ-killer' if Civ kills itself.
Checkmate, Atheists
That was also woke trash.
Humankind had lots of hype while in alpha & beta, but flopped pretty much immediately upon launch.
Their dev team was woke as shit, but I don't even think that was the main flaw because the Civ community is also nauseatingly woke.
In the end, their game simply wasn't balanced or fun.
It launched at the end of 2020 IIRC, so it's been dead in the water for a long time. I do believe it's still supported at least.
Sega and Amplitude actually parted ways about a month ago over the fallout.
There have been a few other Civ clones to come out since: Ara and Millenia, that made no ripples whatsoever AFAICT. I believe one was even backed by Microsoft Studios.
I think this is a generational thing. Fans of the older games (Civ IV back) seem to have a more even mix of political ideologies, whereas fans of the newer games definitely seem to be the 'modern audience', as it were.
I played a bit of Ara, it's actually kind of interesting so far. Gamepass. I like its mechanic better than Civ VI's districts, at least.
I haven't played either of the recent 4x titles.
I'm surprised though how little buzz they both received considering how old Civ 6 is.
I still follow many of the Civ creators and they hardly mention Ara whatsoever.
