I don't know about the others mentioned but Tropico (all 3 of them) were pretty fun games. I don't recall having any issues playing any of them.

Not saying I'm going to pre-order, I'll wait until theres some reviews out, but lets not knock the game before we know anything about it.

QFT. Tropico may have been a tad light on depth, but it had humor and was overall a pretty entertaining series. Given the two great 4x titles that just released, I'm in no hurry to preorder this game, but I'd be more than happy to put down $40 if it gets good reviews, an event I wouldn't discount just going by Dungeons.

Not seeing the issue here. You have the option to not buy them. A company trying to make money is nothing astounding in 2012. IxX3xil3d0n3XxI

The issue is that it's considered poor form when a company charges a subsription AND offers powerful items via microtransaction. Microtransactions are fine in a subscription game, but they're expected to be purely cosmetic, not offer a gameplay advantage.
