Isn't this like Budweiser putting out a commercial making fun of alcoholics? This is an absolute travesty, how is anyone with a problem with video games supposed to work up the nerve to get help when the programmers are poking fun at how they addict us?

Am I totally off base here? Should I find this funny? Theres people out there who's addiction is so bad that there kids are dying from their neglect and here they are making fun of them.

Congratulations Firaxis!

I found it funny and I was addicted to wow for 3 years.

It was kinda funny. I actually take exception more to their statements that the Civ games were "the best PC games ever"

Call to Power II was pretty much the height of the series and that wasn't even technically a Civ game. The recent Civ games are basically carbon copies of each other with the graphics improved a bit.
