I haven't preordered anything. I might have to wait until a Christmas or a birthday to get it. Otherwise I'll wait until it becomes cheaper on Steam.

Compared to WoW, Civ isn't as addictive. With Civ, there is a beginning, middle, and end, plus you can save your game at anytime, as it stops when you aren't playing it. There are some similarities, but the scale and scope of the problem differ in my case. I admit to having an addictive personality. I'm currently choosing more rewarding activities to spend most of my spare time (i.e. reading and writing). Games, for me, are now a diversion, not a daily habit.
