[GS] Future Update?

[Dale]

I was gonna say, they had to have been watching this thread and seeing what a disappointed nadir we've been sinking further into. I really hope this is substantiated, and good.

You people are so full of yourselves if you actually believe Firaxis/2K gives a stuff what you say in this thread.

Now, now. There's no need to be rude. I was making conversation based on the fact that we just saw a bigger than usual blip on the radar just when it seemed like the mood was bottoming out in this thread. I don't know or truthfully care if anyone saw my post, including you. One could even say that you'd have to be even more full of yourself to impugn a whole group of people as if your opinion on us mattered.

Well, the falconchase build shows that Firaxis does read those threads.

Plus they have occasionally posted and dropped likes in here.

Surely Firaxis couldn't let this thread to be closed, so they had to do something, fast.

Edit: and okay, time to wake up Bite from his 3 weeks of artificial sleep. That was not as effective as we thought.

No, you fools, it’s a trap! If Bite is awoken now, it will only be a content pack and not an expansion! THEY’RE ONTO US!

Marketing tactics of community managers. Seems to have worked from the looks of this thread.

Can you elaborate on what that is?

Hold on just a minute, ‘Runner’ is a unique unit for the Harappans in Humankind. What if the third expansion is actually just Humankind, and Firaxis set up Amplitude as a prank to fool us all along!

Oh my, finally some news. I knew that lurking around here would pay off, eventually.
Glad that something dropped before the thread got closed .
Though "Runner" doesn't really say much about the content, new scout unit for a new civ?
Vesuvius at least gave us some idea. Only Blade Runner came to mind, lol

I was wondering if I should jokingly suggest the Harappans.

 

[Xandinho]

It's fun to see how this thread suddenly becomes agitated by any minimal news .

 

[Xur]

I just needed a patch to fix the game... not another brick (dlc) for a wobbly jenga tower

 

[CaesarCS]

How can it be too little when we have no idea what it is?

1000 x 800 map size? Am I missing something here?

I'm guessing a sarcasm detector!

 

[Matthias Corvinus]

So a runner is most likely referring to an occupation. Maybe the expansion has something to do with news? World headlines and more global interactions?

 

[CPWimmer]

LOOK ALIVE, PEOPLE

There's a new DLC (unknown) and a depot to go with it. The depot is named Runner.

"Runner" is obviously a reference to the Boston Marathon, the most famous running event in the US. April 20th must be release day boys!


On a more serious note...

Full Expansions have a roughly 21/2 - 3 month marketing ramp up. Smaller DLC could have a ramp up as small as a week, but most likely would have more like a month of marketing. And of course, this steamDB move is not the start of their actual marketing campaign. However we DO know, that they know, that we know, that they know, that we watch that space like a hawk (or an Eagle, in this case). So unofficially it wouldn't surprise me that this may be a minor marketing nod to us.

 

[Matthias Corvinus]

Maybe it has something to do with the road runner?

Or perhaps it is referencing that we run to conclusions far too quickly

 

[Cerilis]

But what does Runner have to do with Churchill?

 

[clapyourhands]

Runner? As in a marathon runner? As in THE marathon runner?

We all know that what Civ VI needed more than anything else was more Greek representation. I for one welcome our new Hellenic expansion pack.

 

[Casworon]

Oh my god we have life.

Well out of all the options I would say that a third DLC is the most likely in my eyes.

This would mean we are still months away from announcement and then months away still from release.

Still its amazing to see life.

Tbh I had given up hope

Edit: It could be a map pack dlc like civ v got late in its life. But with all the amazing maps that have been coming with the patches I dont see this as too likely. Bring on DLC3 hype
