The gaming industry in general seems eager to find new ways to alienate their customer base. The Switch 2 debacle comes to mind. There's a new RTS on steam I was going to buy.... until I read their crazy EULA. So many examples... I'm glad I've got old games like CiV to play.

I've been on this forum 15 years. I have over 1500 hours playing Civ. I will never buy this game, for so many reasons. I will not reward 2K for their bad behaviour.

How does this work? Let's say you uninstall the game and then a month later you want to re-install it. Do you download it again from Newegg? So now that software is tied to Newegg?

How is the narrator? It's that woman from Game of Thrones, right? She's a fine actress but I don't know if she has the gravitas to be near as good as the previous narrators. She's no Leonard Nimoy, Sean Bean, or William Morgan Sheppard.

Reason to buy: Love rewarding bad behavior by game companies.

Any game with denuvo is an automatic zero. Any game that's a hundred dollars is an automatic zero. Any game that's holding back basic content for future DLC is an automatic zero. Any game that is obviously unfinished is an automatic zero.

Civ 5 has decent locations on the map to start a city.

Why on earth would that be beneficial TO ME? Or beneficial to 2K? Why does doing something your paying customers hate improve your business? CivII is the first Civ game since 4 that I am not buying.

OP: Thanks for the review, it was thoughtful and helpful.

This one is more informative: Civ 7's biggest problem.

Interesting video. Dr. Disaster on civ 7

I can't remember ever looking forward so much to not buying a game.

This game is going to have a lot of DLC. A LOT.

Yes, because nothing says 'we're a major civilization' like being under the control of a bunch of faceless bureaucrats in Belgium. Please take the current events/politics to the OT forum. Enough of it here! leif

Stop, you're killing me.
