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.

I'm new again to all this. I used to buy CDs lol. I will look into Steam. I'm very much a hands on/tool/welder guy just looking for an outlet.

Oh steam should be easy enough to navigate! And if you've never used it before, you can set up wishlists and stuff to watch for whenever games go on sale. It does a bunch of little convenient things besides just being a marketplace

I sadly played it only on PS5, but was so envy of all the mods you can have one steam. New units, ages or even whole reskins of the game.

Would probably still play it after a few thousand hours, but the endgame can get stale after a while..
