Anno 2070 is going green

Anno 2070 is going green photo

Anno 2070 took the popular strategy franchise in a surprising new direction and succeeded in offering fans something fresh but familiar. Now you can continue building your empire with some new DLC. Eden Project comes with a new world event and clean sustainable technology for those inclined to care about the environment.

By harnessing the power of "Former Technology" green leaders will be able to keep their island nice and carbon neutral while everyone else is swimming in oil and choking on fumes. The DLC is already available in North America through Steam or the in-game store. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a world to save!

I'm really interested in trying this game. I loved Caesar and Rome, and a futuristic, economic-focused RTS sounds really engaging.

They're obviously trying to push a dangerous liberal agenda, disgusting.

Where's my capitalist DLC? Where I can play the group that utilizes the available resources to good effect, furthering the pursuit of technology, individual prosperity, and civilization in general while the Earth remains temporally stable?
...Or is my worldview not "in vogue" right now? Am I doomed to play "the villain" in every game for the next few years?

If only they removed the three activation limit. This went from the very top of my wishlist, to off my wishlist entirely. Compounded by the fact that they already had issues with the servers going offline longer than anticipated, yeah I will wait.

@Ziggy

Wha?????? What is wrong with using renewable energy? I mean seriously, I hope you are joking. Everything aside, politics and science aside. If you burn coal, oil, and the likes, you shit up the environment. Period. Not only that, the resource is gone. Vanished. Adios, amigos. So this crazy idea to try and consider other alternatives is not inherently malicious. It can be logically supported outside of the political realm. That being said, I would not care if they chose to release a heavy industry DLC.

Why the hell does a game on Steam have additional DRM slapped over the top of it, this is exactly why Ubisoft is a full retard company. Everybody else (even EA of all people, prior to the Origin fuckfest) seems to understand that Steam works because its DRM doesn't try to bend over the customers.

That wouldn't be a "capitalist". A capitalist cares about making more money, he doesn't care about ressources, fair use, technological advancmenent, but about money.

What you refer to would be something like a green liberalist.

The term Capitalist doesn't imply anything other than the industry is dictated by market choice. Capitalism isn't inherently greedy; that's the result of fortune 500 companies squeezing all competition, effectively ending a truly free market. If there isn't an open field for competition, it isn't capitalist - that's the start of a monopoly our oligarchy, and I call that neo-capitalism. Henry Ford is at the pinnacle of capitalism, and he did more for the nation, obituary, and most of all, his employees than any company would today with a neo-capitalistic mindset.

Capitalism is an economics business model. It has nothing to do with motives or agendas.

Obituary was supposed to say industry.

I'll agree with everyone here saying that as much as I'd like to get the game, Ubisoft ruined any chances of me picking it up. This made it specially tempting, though. Every time I play a sim like this I always want to go the "green" route, but none of the games I've played have allowed it.

Tropico 3 at least let you build turbines instead of big honking power plants. Didn't help much when you had to scorch the rest of the earth to turn a profit though.
