The politics of getting intentionally incomplete games to add DLC's and squeeze more to the players does not help. The Civ VII is clearly incomplete and we all know it, within perhaps two years, there will not be all the things that the company already knows that the game needs.

Hmm, let's see...
- Kernel-level malware. Check.
- Missing features that existed in previous titles. Check.
- Features will be sold back to you at extensive cost. Check.
- Base game is $100CAD after tax. Check.
- Upgraded versions are $145CAD and $190CAD after tax. Check.
I wonder why it has less sales.
I won’t buy 7 until the drm rootkit is gone.
I don't think the linux version has denuvo, if it does, it's already been cracked so you can play that instead
Still prefer V. I think VII actually looks interesting to me but until they iron out the early issues I'll hold off.
V is still goated. Some day I'll look into the Vox Populi mod for it as well. VII looks shiny and new but I can't say what I've seen of it has made me feel compelled to buy it.
Honestly, I like the look of the leader/civilization changing and mixing. Looks like a lot of fun, in the "late-game rogue-like", "Break the game by amassing synergies" type way. Its a different appreal than 5, but that just means I can enjoy both rather than picking one. That said, given the price, the DRM, and the reported buggyness, I'll probably still be waiting a few years at least. At least that gives modders time to get to work.
