Prior to this patch, on a G5, this thing is virtually unplayable. No major problems on my Macbook, but my buddy quickly retired the Civ disk to coaster duty after is G5 had a conniption trying to run it. Sure, the G5 may not be a "gaming super-power" and he should probably just pony up to Windows and be done with it. But the greater point: should companies release, nay -- BE ALLOWED TO RELEASE-- a product, at fifty bones, that is UNPLAYABLE? Even at the recommended specs?
Could Nabisco sell me a Chips-Ahoy, where I could look on the bottom of the box and see "Eating Requirements: Teeth. Mandibles. Stomach. Etc." and then, when I attempt to eat their product, find out that it is made of Ceramic and is 100% UNeatable? I don't think so... and Chips Ahoy are only like four bucks.
