    Anyone actually playing 7? I know of no one personally, and I’ve played them all religiously

      It shipped with Denuvo and I don’t pay for malware. It’s the first Civ game I haven’t bought at launch. I’m including the original.

        That’s about as expected. As a big fan of civ, it just looked like a worse version of 6, which was a worse version of 5.

        Only reason for the bigger playercount of 6 is because of Sean Bean’s incredible narration.

        Honestly that’s just how Civ has been for the past few releases, most people don’t get it until the typical set of 2 major expansion packs come out and eventually go on sale. The base price of the full package has always been crazy high.

          We will see. 'Cause for all Civ 6’s (and every Civ’s) controversy, this feels different… It’s like people have forgotten about 7.

      Well they removed the ability to play as “A civilization” in the game called “Civilization” so yeah everyone I know has swore off it.

        Yes and no. If you want to play China you can play as the various chinese incarnations from beginning to end.

        It only works with China for some mysterious reason though.

      Yeah, I like it. It’s definitely an unfinished product and lacking a lot of content and polish atm, but it’s got the bones of a good game. Absolutely not worth the current asking price tho

      I mean why play an unfinished game? The radical changes sound interesting to me but it needs at least two add-ons to flourish, the same old story as with 5 and 6. I can wait and pick up the complete experience for half the price if that ever sees the light of day after the layoffs.

      I played through exactly one full game, and it just felt… pointless, I guess? Like I was just clicking through turns to get to the end and none of it mattered. Then it told me I’d lost and was like “K” and then played Civ VI for a bit.

      I gave up after the 20th bug I encountered. (Yes I kept track.) It’s a shame because I actually liked the eras system.
