This game is stupidly complex and as unfriendly to new players as it gets. I am not talking steep learn curve, i am talking a learn WALL. Players with 1000s of hours still don't know a lot of stuff. Also, some recent updates apparently destroyed the multiplayer. This game is too complex to be fun for the average joe and the dev/publisher is greedy. (Tried on Free Weekend)
