Yeah, this is why I haven't looked at it in years. Due to work/IRL schedules, most 4x games I'll binge on for a week or two, then put down for months, before being able to come back to them. And I just got tired of having to relearn the game every single time because everything was redone to accommodate their new systems. If you want to add new stuff, go for it and (usually) it's appreciated. But reworking a core component of the game every single patch, and usually putting half of that rework behind DLC, no thank you.
