UNIT 666
One of Many
I voted Publishing, mainly because of the Steam requirement and DLC shown so far. I'm curious as to how much it will change the modding scene, for the worse.
What worries you the most about the Civ 5 yet?

I voted other. I'm worried about the head developer having only started playing the series with Civ 3, and also that he stated that 3, the weakest of the previous 4 IMO, was his favorite! (I am not trying to start a flame war here, it's just my opinion.) But honestly, I think it looks like he did a really good job so far and I hope when I play it that it's great. Also, simply removing stacking should be enough to improve it.
I think this has been mentioned in 3/4 of all previews...yes, that seems to be a major problem.
I support this statement
....is the Steam requirement.
I have faithfully followed Civ through uncounted game hours on the DOS version, II, III IV and even Colonization (which I still have a look in on). The ride was fun, even though some of the concepts seem dumbed down, dated or downright flawed now.
However my financial circumstances make getting a Steam account virtually impossible.
So I'll be giving V a miss.

Creating a Steam account is free?
Fair comment, and Valve's Steam Subscriber Agreement says it offers some subscriptions for free. But it also
"reserves the right to change our fees or billing methods at any time "
Does this mean that Valve could decide to make the free access accounts into paying ones? I would hardly expect Valve to provide explicit assurances on this, but I have gone through two instances where free access has been forcibly merged into fee paying ones. Business silence on this matter may mean nothing to some, but from my position it sends the wrong signals. I don't have the comfort of a fall back means of making electronic payment so this is a big deal for me and I fail to be comforted by the available info.
On another point, I must confess that the idea of Steam spying on my PC use doesn't fill me with thrills.

Publishing (Steam, Deluxe edition, DLC). Definitely!
I have always had the freedom to buy a game and play it with 100% complete ananimity.
I can do this with Playstation or Ninetendo games, even PC games. So, why has Firaxis got involved in this?
I don't want it, and I am not registering with Steam, just to try Firaxis' game.
There are other games to try, and Civ to continue with.
Not Impressed.
My vote for a game is Not automatic. It has to be earned.

I said "other." For me it stands for "nothing."

Steam would go broke instantly if they started charging a subscription fee (in fact they say they make more money selling games for $5 or $10 than they do on the same titles selling them for $50), and Steam only collects non-personal data, and even then only if you explicitly authorize it to do so.
Exactly, it would be most awful business decision in the world for Steam to start charging people for simply having an account.
I wouldn't count on that.
