Same. They’re thw only games I’ve actually bought from them.
Not sure how they haven’t fucked it up so far - maybe because anno is a small franchise in the grand scheme of things, and has a cult following particularly in Germany, so apaet from online requirement and denuvo added to the latest entries, they let it be. I’m actually more amazed that bluebyte/ubi mainz haven’t butchered the anno games like they did with the settlers series.

There are alternatives like Manor Lords that can scratch that itch. Ones that aren’t by a predatory, anti-consumer company and aren’t infected with Denuvo malware.

I have (and love!) Manor Lords! Admittedly I haven't played it since it first came out though. Has the dev added more content? I remember later game feeling a bit directionless

It’s been evolving quite a bit, though it has stalled out the last few months. The developer recently wrote a blog that the next update will be enormous as it reworks almost everything in the game, hence the lack of incremental updates lately.
