⚠ RISK ASSESSMENT: HIGH

Your data tells a clear story:
› 28 strategy games owned · 4 played past 2 hours · $12.33/hour (6x your library avg)
› You own Civ V (0.8 hrs) and Civ VI (1.4 hrs) — neither finished tutorial
› Last strategy game you engaged with meaningfully: none found
› Based on your patterns, there is an 82% probability this goes unplayed
↳ RECOMMENDATION: Add to wishlist. Set 30-day hold. Play 3 existing strategy games first (Civ VI, Total War: Warhammer III, XCOM 2). If you finish any of them, revisit this purchase. If you don't — that's your answer.
