I stop doing that after getting burned with some game with a season pass. HOI III was such a marginal game for me that I was really reluctant to trust they’d do a good job with IV. I’m delighted to be proven wrong.
BTW, I asked the Expert AI guy on his support for MtG. He said it will be at least a week for him to come out with new version. Which in programmer time means at least 2 weeks right but hopefully not 2 months.
