It seems Sara forgot to tell us (or I missed it), but it seems that new Civ7 merchandise is available.
All the official merchandise can be bought in the official store here.
As you can see from the picture, the new items are a tumbler, a baseball cap, a mousepad, a set of pins (mystery selection), a sherpa blanket, and a new t-shirt as well as sweatshirt (different ones were available already prior).
From tomorrow you can also order a war elephant plushie, see here.
 
Here's a picture of the elephant plushie:

I also already have a mammoth plushie, but while my mammoth is seven inches tall, this war elephant is even taller, at nine inches. That's actually pretty sizeable for a plushie! Can't have it being smaller than your typical horse plushie!
 
I got some pins. I'm a sucker for pins and patches. If anyone else gets some and wants to trade let me know.

You should know, during the shipping address part, there are two checkboxes at the bottom, one to install cookies and the other to receive spam. When I autofilled the form, it wouldn't let me continue because I needed to correct the formatting on one line. This made me think I needed to check those boxes to continue and I was about to back out of the purchase.

You do not have to agree to that crap to purchase.

Is it Mauryan or Cholan (picture only)?

The covering for the head and upper trunk indicates some kind of elephant armor, which is post-Mauryan: earliest evidence for it is around 100 BCE, almost a century after the end of he Mauryan Empire.
 
This was the 'January Update' news on Steam. I went from 'Oh cool! Patch!' to 'Bite me! Advertisement!'

Which isn't even new... 80% of this "update" is recycled material from November or before (same goes for the soundtrack). I think it's really distasteful, at least put something like "reminder, you can also still buy... as mentioned in our update from..."

This is the "January" "Update".

I like pins, but buying selling 7 random pins out of 31 is ridiculous to me.

(Edit: made clear I meant it's ridiculous on the side of the seller, not the buyer. I think it's shady business practises.)

I know! Like I said, I'm a sucker.

Oh yeah sorry I didn't mean at all to say you are ridiculous for doing something like that. It's just the business practice I meant to call ridiculous. I apologise if I caused any offence!
