Just let us Exit to Desktop? Why?

The button exists but it is hidden behind 'show more'.
 
Hopefully this is one of the UI things that gets fixed
 
LOL, I just noticed the show more button after the above comment. Thanks for the extra clicks Firaxis.
 
This simple pause menu mod is a MUST!

We all thank you Cyberdisc!

 
If you want to access the desktop and minimize the game you can press windows key + D
 
No one here seems to know that ALT+F4 is a thing.

Sad. This used to be a common prank you would pull on people.

"Hold alt and press f4 for unlimited gold!"
 
I never turn off my computer.
I also run Civ7 window mode, because I often have to switch to a browser to search for info that the game fails to provide.
So It happened a few times that I exited a Civ7 game and forgot about having to do an extra step to completely quit it.
And there, I found that the game was still running the next day, with whatever random leader striking poses next to the game menu.
 
The Firaxis UI designers seem to love adding extra clicks in the name of a "cleaner" interface.

I suspect it has to do with the simultaneous console development.
 
Might be a mild dark pattern with the hiding under 'Show More' design decision.

The worse bit for Console players is, we can’t “Quick Save” without going to the “Show More” button, which we also can’t click directly (because no mouse). So it’s bring up menu, d-pad down to “Show More” then more clicking around to get to “Quick Save”.
