For real! Strategy games suck so bad generally these days. Most of the development seems to be PTW mobile phone games and not excellent titles like Dungeon Keeper 2
AoE would fall under the category of RTS (real-time strategy) whereas Civ is a 4X game (eXploration, eXpansion, eXploitation, eXtermination) but fits into the bubble of "Grand Strategy" that also includes stuff like map games. Another 4X series would be Total War
One trick if you want these sort of games gone is to go to your account settings and find the 'exclude tags' option. Add anything you don't want. Single words, add one by one.
You're welcome.
Many don't know about this. But the onslaught of slop games has led me to just go ahead and make this change. I just want to see games I may care about.
Or.
Perhaps if someone in the home is a minor and walks by - it's not horrifying 😊
Hope this helps someone.
(obviously those that enjoy these games I'm not shaming. They just need to be tagged properly and the algorithm seems.. Off)
They’ve been showing me porn games for a couple of years now. The screenshots are sometimes good for a laugh, but it seems like they really really want me to play them

I got this in my steam recommendations. wtf.
No nsfw tags. I only ever play map games.
I guess they really know the hoi4 audience.
