General sentiment on Reddit and verdict by YouTubers seems also quite positive for 1.3.0 and the free DLC.

This may entice people to try it

When I added the free dlc to steam it was at 88% positive.

Who’s gonna complain about free DLC? I also fired up a game to try. I wouldn’t describe it as bad but I also haven’t had any desire to load my save so haven’t returned.

The civs and leaders look great - that really was never an issue

Will be interesting to see if reviews change when it becomes paid dlc.

Looks like its 78% positive on SteamDB - so 22% of reviewers.

Complaints include it only being free for a limited time, the state of Civ VII, experiencing errors, calling it low effort, calling the Pirates weak, obscure leader, saying resources should've been allocated "anywhere else".

I mean, its their job. No job is easy

And yet you want them to listen to you. "easy" doesn't really come into that. We all want to be listened to

Most of those 22% are a lost cause and will never be happy with the game. So I guess we know the proportion is at least ~20%.

I wouldn't say that. Pirate Republic is a very questionable choice of civilization and I totally understand that for many people "free" is not an absolute winner argument (you still have to pay for base game now, or pay extra later). So I totally could imagine people who don't like this DLC pack, but overall are content with the game.
