They did get quite a few negative reviews on the Steam store page about this issue, and there's also a large thread with users complaining ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/289070/discussions/0/17095641... ) which probably led to this action.

As an aside, complaints might have been even more numerous if the game were actually good, as of now Civ 5 has a peak of 30K users playing daily, while Civ 6 a peak of only 20K.
