They are often just boxes with download codes.What is even a "physical copy" of VII? Switch (1) is the only one working out of the box without downloads or installations.

Nope, the PS5 version has a Blu Ray (I presume) and you have to install it on the console SSD. I would count that as a copy. (that you can re-sell)They are often just boxes with download codes.

I also noticed that some of the biggest Civ 7 streamers dont post any videos anymore. At least no Civ 7. Some of them reverted bsck to Civ 6.It's Friday morning in the US, afternoon in Europe and evening in China. Late July, during Summer vacation. Civ7 currently has 8,031 players according to SteamDB. On Twitch, there are 5 live Civ7 streamers. Three of them have no viewers. One has one viewer. The most popular has 3 viewers. On Youtube, I cannot find a single Civ7 live stream. Anyone that thinks Civ7 is one or two patches away from turning its fortunes around is, sorry to say, probably delusional. To put things in perspective: Civ6 has 671 viewers on Twitch at the moment. Civ5 has 604 viewers. Civ4 has 140 viewers. Civ7? A paltry 11 viewers. This is absolutely brutal for Firaxis.
I think Firaxis want to ensure that their game is in good enough state before attempting another marketing push (e.g. paying streamers to make videos or stream the game).It's Friday morning in the US, afternoon in Europe and evening in China.

It definitely feels worrying that some of the bigger streamers are going back to Civ6 though...
The lack of content is surely noticeable. But I mean, it's not that absolutely no one cares. On YouTube, the July developer update video has decent views, and the Genghis Khan First Look as well, both on the official channel and in reposts. Which aligns with the estimated active players of 122k according to PlayerTracker. The YouTube videos by One More Turn or JumboPixel also seem to bring in some viewers. But it's nowhere near as much as around launch – yet on YouTube a larger audience compared to what recent Civ 6 videos reached.
I mean, you hit the nail on the head. Their job is to make money from youtube videos... Hence why initially there were people accusing streamers of being in the pocket of 'Big Firaxis' and wearing overly rose-tinted glasses.When streamers post VII-friendly content, it's "their job", or worse. When they don't, it's taken as relevant?
Why?
