Release For Mac?

As of a minute ago on Steam:

"Aspyr-Blair [developer] Just now
gaijindan:

For for the love of God and all that is holy, please could you kindly tell us whether it will be today, tomorrow, or later so we can move on with our lives.

Much obliged Blair. I tip my cap to you and the fine folk at Aspyr for all the work that you are doing.

Your friend in the UK,

gaijindan
Fingers crossed for today or tomorrow. A nasty bug would have to pop up for it to be much later than that.

Thank you for the kind words! The team is happily overwhelmed by the support we've gotten over the weekend."

<_<

 

Awesome, thanks for sharing that

 

So... Tuesday?

 

Sounds like it, doesn't it? My fingers are getting cramps.

 

need... need... neeeeeeeeeeeeed...

 

"To be fair, I would happily play with a nasty late-game bug as by the time I had installed the game and got to the late game, the patch would probably be ready... " Admiral of the Rear (Steam).

But for real Aspyr, I think most of us would love to play a bugged version for you guys and even inform you folks about things you missed. But I get it, one bug and someone will start posting bad reviews and shouting complaints.

 

Bad news, Aspyr just tweeted that Civ VI is not gonna come out so soon so probably not today. https://twitter.com/AspyrMedia/status/790596244804661248

 

Aspyr on Facebook: So I've got good news and bad news. Bad news: The #CivilizationVI is not ready yet. Good news: It is VERY close. We will keep y'all posted on any news good or bad in the coming hours.

 

Yeah, at this point, it's hard to see their "updates" as more than hot air. I'll believe it when it's out.

 

Exactly, though only thing I ever look for are delays because thy confirm my suspicious and let me get back to what I was doing before refreshing all of my Aspyr related tabs.

 

Agreed. They'll keep saying "soon", which in itself is meaningless. Even though I'm sure that the folks at Aspyr worked hard over the weekend, I doubt that their counterparts at Steam will rush their end of it. I never really expected it to arrive until Tuesday at the earliest, once it was clear that they would miss 21 October.

 

Most recent tweet to someone commenting "I hope it's this week." : "@CrazyMovieMaker This week is almost as good as guaranteed. 99%"

Not super inspiring?

 

My feeling right now is that they encountered a more or less serious problem on Friday and are still working on that. I liked they post 'don't stay up late tonight just for civ vi on mac' during their lives stream though. That was really helpful and honest.

 

Yeah, information and consistency would be great. In the space of 15 minutes, whoever is running their twitter indicated "I'm told today is still a possibility" and "We're expecting to launch in a matter of days!" which are pretty different statements with no actual progress information to discern which of those is more likely. The person fielding questions on the Steam forum seems to give actual progress information, like "We have no gate for this. As soon as 2K signs off (they are working on their sweeps now) we will hit the button."

 

"Aspyr Media ‏@AspyrMedia 26m26 minutes ago
I said there'd be an update. Sadly, I don't have much. But as for the question "tonight"? I cannot say yes, but I cannot say no... so maybe?"

 

Hope it's tonight. Hope it's tonight. I really hope it's tonight!!!!

Finger crossed.

 

Out now on Steam - installing now

 

OMG I AM FOAMING AT THE MOUTH!!! SO EXCITED

Downloading it right now. Best 16 minute wait ever! I am so glad that they short (but infinitely long) wait is over.

 

Started playing last night, and some more this morning. Feeling pretty overwhelmed with all the new stuff. Loving the Eurekas and Inspirations.

 

You're telling me. I watched a lot of LP's, so I thought I'd do ok, but I'm sucking badly on Prince.
