I have no problem with Civilization V. Well, not with the gameplay. It
has some nice innovations that I feel really improve the game (in
particular, the addition of those minor countries that you can ally
with but don't expand their borders). Some of the other changes
(combat, in particular) aren't as welcome but don't ruin the game.
I do have a problem with paying $30 for an expansion pack, though.
I do have a problem, like many fans, /playing/ Civilization V though
(or any Civ game, for that matter). Left unchecked, it could destroy
my life ("It's /what/ time in the morning?!?!?"). Its why I purposely
limit my access to the game. So maybe it's for the best that the DLC
is so overpriced; it keeps me from buying it, reinstalling the game
and not getting any sleep for a month ;-)
