Civilization 7 Outlines Crucial 1.1.1 Update as It Struggles to Compete on Steam Against Civ 6 and Even the 15-Year-Old Civ 5

Nope. Paradox and EA are the same.
EA is about mtx, not dlc

Everyone knows you don't buy a Civ game the first few years it's out.
As far as I'm concerned, they are still in the beta test for at least the next 2 years, then MAYBE I'll think about grabbing it.
I own 6 but still havent played it much.5, on the other hand, I still play a few hours a week.

At a certain point they're beating a dead horse. Outside of graphical updates (which I thought the cartoon-y look of the leaders in civ 6 was a huge downgrade), the core gameplay is still mostly the same throughout the series.
I watched a video on civ 7 and it seems like they really tried to shake up a lot in the game, I think for this reason that they needed to try something fresh to stay relevant. But really this is to its detriment rather than benefit.
I'm not sure if the three age thing is to "even the playfield" on those marathon long sessions when one civ runs away with the ball so to speak, but really that's one of my favorite parts of the series. Like it's awesome to take out some cavemen with navy seals or launch nukes when everyone is cowering in fear. If everything gets massively reset, then why even try to get ahead? I've not played the game so there could be more nuance but that's my general impression.
The part that turned me off is it is a complete rip off of Humankind, which was okay but got stale for me pretty quick.

The entire series really peaked with civ 4 and 5. 4 was the more complicated, less streamlined but still really fun game, where each game kind of felt like a dnd campaign where tons of random things could happen and you had a lot of flexibilty with your Civilization. And Civ 5 was streamlined, simplifed to be easier to learn, and while choices were reduced, the more streamlined nature made it easy to jump into a game, and civs still had uniqueness about them, and its also great fun.
Civ 5 is also a beautiful game. The artstyle has this epic, renaissance painting quality, and every world leader looks badass and awesome. Even the portraits of the units, like the worker and scout looked like something out of an italian paimting. The artstyle felt more authentic and mature, at least to me, and they haven't really recaptured that epicness and beauty since.

I can't find it anywhere, I must have mis-remembered
Maybe they did the port but don't want to claim it because the game sucks ass.

I'll pick up Civ 7 in a few years when I can get the full pack for a reasonable price. It's the way Civ works.
The game isn't even done yet from what I can tell from streams. I'll definitely wait for the full game with all the dlc.

But... I already have it, though. I just never play it because I am pretty happy with 5 and it runs better on my macbook.

A lot of people aren't happy with the newer civilization games. Some people didn't even like the changes they made in 5, so it's understandable.
I personally don't like the 3 age system in 7, and if they don't fix that in the next few years, then I'm not buying it at all.
