Joking (or am I?) aside, I'm ambivalent on Civilization 7.  Setting aide that (ironically) Civ-style games have never really been my wheelhouse, right now I'm just not seeing anything about this newest iteration to get particularly excited about.  Perhaps that may change, but for now it's not like I don't have plenty of other games to play. 

Of course, the $70 (USD) price point doesn't help either.  That, combined with the Paradoxian amount of DLC the game is likely to receive over its lifetime, and I'm perfectly content to wait to pick up the Complete Edition on sale a decade from now.  ::)

Holy hell.  For those kind of specs, not to mention the price, this game had better cure cancer.

I'm starting to think this game might cure Civilization addiction.

I was operating on the presumption that ojsdad was being facetious, since RTS games tend to be bigger resource hogs than TBS titles.  ;)
