Of course, that was something they gave away a decade ago. I don't really see how that's relevant unless one has a time machine. :D

Well, the point some reviewers make is, "You gave that away for free, and now, for the 25th anniversary, you re-release it for 29.99, and the only major change is adding DRM." :P

Just read Denuvo mention on Steam was a mistake.

Thanks for the correction. :) Still, they used to give it away for free, and now charge 29.99. If it had been 5 or 10 EUR I might have picked it up just because. But not shelling out 30 bucks for a simple, unpolished re-release. :D

Oh yeah I won't pick it up either at that price point.

I've never played that franchise. What's the gameplay like and how good is it?

Also, would you recommend getting some, none, or all of the DLC?

For Anno 1800, keep it easy with the base game and maybe some of the cosmetic DLCs.

Anno games are production chain games with flavor.
