Epic Games is offering Sid Meier’s Civilization VI Platinum Edition for free until July 24, including the base game, six DLC packs, and two expansions, allowing players to keep it permanently. The game, highly rated and with over 250,000 reviews, is a popular turn-based strategy title, though recent mixed reviews are noted due to controversy over EULA changes.
Neuralink's first human patient, quadriplegic Nolan Arbaugh, showcased his ability to control a computer cursor and play "Civilization VI" using the brain implant, marking a significant milestone in the company's progress. Despite initial concerns over safety and transparency, Arbaugh reported an easy surgery and no cognitive impairments, emphasizing the life-changing impact of the technology. While not entirely groundbreaking, the demonstration highlights the potential of brain implants to empower individuals with physical limitations.
Steam's Strategy Fest sale offers deep discounts on a variety of strategy games, including Civilization VI for $5.99 and Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition for $19.99.
