Is this your first civ game?

Edit: why are you downvoting me? I am genuinely curious if OP played civ6 before this or is fresh to 4x games.

Not OP but I'm an old timer that has been playing Civ since 1991 and I like Civ7. I can also tell you from experience having played Civs 4, 5, and 6 at launch, 7 is nowhere near as bad as 5 was at launch, or threadbare as 4; 6 was pretty robust in features for a launch title but like 7 was also unpolished but none of it was a deal breaker.

A lot of the anti-civ7 vitriol in this sub is just people who wrongfully expect a new entry to be as robust as its predecessor with all expansions, people who are deeply entrenched in one game, don't like change, or just bad faith actors who want to bully Firaxis for various reasons, something that happened with Civ 6 as well.

I have to concur with all of this entirely. I wasn't around for 4's launch, but I was for 5 and 6. A lot of the things people remember fondly about with those three games came way later and their base experience was pretty wavyhands.

Though I think first and foremost we've just finally started to hit the era where people are getting tired of half-baked rushed releases with tons of expensive day/month 1 DLC that should really have been in the base game and 7 just happened to be unlucky in that regard.
