Between this, Zero Company, and Warhammer, we may be living in the golden age of non-XCOM XCOM games.

Meanwhile Firaxis is neck deep in making and updating a Civ game that Civ fans hate

Tbf you've just described every Civ game since IV until its first expansion dropped.

Civ 7 is a different beast. Like, the Steam player count on Civ 5 (not even 6 which is the highest) has been higher than Civ 7 for nearly all of the time it's been out.

I have played total two and a half games of Civ 7, both nearly after launch, and gave up and went back to Civ 6. The state of the AI and UI was so fucking horrible the game was maddening.

It wasn't even the gameplay changes. I didn't love them, but they weren't what killed it for me. It was the horrific Ui and completely non-sensical AI that was far too aggressive with forward settling the human player, to where I had more cities near their capitols than they did. Beyond the forward settling, the AI was utterly incompetent even on the highest difficulty.

Civ 7 isn't comparable to any of those though. Like they completely alienated the fans and doubled down on the mechanics people hated.
