Comments under that tweet are 90% DEI HIRE WOMYNS SOY SOY SOY, and very little about the game.
Very bearish for civilization (not the game).

What really gets me is how they redesigned the UI only to end up with something worse than before and apparently nobody noticed. There are UI mods that could be used as a baseline for what the community wants but NOPE gotta do our thing. These people are both extremely stupid and extremely arrogant.

How is this surprising? They're targeting multiple platforms at release and have typical corporate product/project managers involved at some stage, who will block any effort that is more than the minimum viable product they need to ship. PC-specific UI improvements from their perspective are an additional cost and timeline delay. And this is before you consider how badly T2 is in need of cash before GTA6 comes around, which lead to further corner cutting to rush the product out of the door and make Zelnick (Take Two CEO) or whats-his-name happy that he has good news to give to shareholders for a change.

This is the firth time in a row this has happened, only people who don't play Civ would be surprised.

So how are you enjoying the game thus far, whydoibother?

I've been playing on and off all day, and the first impression is "eurojank". Some bad craftmanship, some bad balance, but overal you get the idea and its fun.

How the fuck can you put eurojank and fucking Civilization in the same sentence?

Not that I doubt the crappiness of this game but the decline and competence crisis must be terminal if you can put jank and Civ together.
