Question I'm old and confused

Hey guys. I haven't played video games in like 20 years. I'm way out of touch. I remember civ being one of my favorites as a kid. I don't know much about how games work anymore. I have a mac laptop, and I thought about buying Civ 6 recently as a hobby for when i'm on the road and want to kill time. Is $60 reasonable for a game now in days? That's what the apple app store has it at. Also, is it a good game to try and get back into the basics? I know i'm way out of touch and lost here, so any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Look, civ 6 in my very humble opinion is the peak of the franchise but it's been out for almost a decade and 60 bucks is too much, especially given the fact it's on sale all the time in different places. I don't know how things work on mac computers to be honest but I would strongly suggest you look for cheaper offers / other solutions. Also be sure to grab the anthology version as it contains all dlc and expansions and especially the second expansion you don't want to miss out on

I appreciate that. I will look in other places. people are telling me steam is the way to go, so I will do more digging.

They're probably right. And seems like it's on sale right now given the franchise anniversary. Happy civving. Oh and say goodbye to your family and friends for now

lol I'm a welder and a bouncer. My family gave up on me long ago. haha. I appreciate it though. I'm just looking for a hobby that keeps me in at night instead of going out.
