I have hundreds of hours into Deep Rock Galactic, and I still play it almost every day. And I'm no anomaly - and there are plenty of games in a variety of genres that players stick with for hundreds of hours.

Maybe Civ needs a little touch up in modern design - maybe the first playthrough is quick and easy, but "willing to spend time" with a game is definitely not a problem.

DRG is action coop run-based game. There is no complexity in it. H5 is tighter on resource management but it can't compare with grand strategy where plays could long for hours.

Which is exactly part of my point. I can play DRG for hours at a time, and it's a pretty one dimensional game. So there's no reason why something as complex as CIV can't thrive. His point that players don't have the attention span or a willingness to commit to a game these days is just wrong.
