Well if the game does become a coaster for you this will be the first time Ive heard of it for the reasons you give.
Usually its not being able to get past the learning curve. Or a pre-disposition to only playing games with super pretty graphics.
As far as Ive been able to tell, anyone who really wants to play a strategic type of game has felt this game to be worth far more than its price in playing time it provides. In fact I think that most of us are still waiting on a coaster date so we can get a final breakdown on its worth. I had Dom1 for 3 years without reaching it.
