▲ 566 ▼ Steam adds new "Trending Free" tab to hide demos from new & trending (files.catbox.moe) submitted 2 years ago by simple@lemm.ee to c/games@lemmy.world 62 comments fedilink hide all child comments Great change imo. The new & trending tab feels a lot more useful now that it isn't 50% demos.

Even the original base game had it. In fact, this is actually better, as now you are able to use 3 rotating civs, not just the English and the French, which you were forced to use before. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] smeg@feddit.uk 1 point 2 years ago It's more than fine to have a demo, just call it a demo rather than tricking people into thinking it's the full version for free! permalink fedilink source parent
