	The game still exists, and in the late 2010 and 2020's, they've tried a new trick: pretending to be a pin-pulling game where you have to pill the right pins in the right order to release water, lava, monsters, and treasure. Then run adds showing somebody playing the game stupidly, to frustrate the viewer into wanting to play the game to "show them how it's done". To their credit, the game actually ''has'' puzzle stages like that, but you naturally have to play the Civ game to unlock them.

	Worst of all, dozens of sites and companies decided to copy their methods, with the most "successful" ones being Game of War: Fire Age and Mobile Strike.

Oh, and the game's operators are under investigation by the FBI for potentially using this info for identity theft. They're also currently in trouble with international police for their involvement in keeping people as slaves to run Gold-Farming services for games like [[World of Warcraft]], and the owners of the company have gone to some lengths to try and [[1984]] anything that could connect their shitty game to it. Reap what you sow, you fucking oxygen thieves.
