Agreed. That wins the Internet today

I am a veteran Civ player, but I am a sucker for a few game series and will preorder them regardless, including their season passes and/or DLC. Civ VI, Deus Ex, Fire Emblem, Fallout (ok at original price), Elder Scrolls, Mario Kart, Zelda, and anything from CD Project Red or Naughty Dog.

I got mine from Green Man Gaming with the season pass for $67. Seems fair and I've liked all the stuff I've seen so far, especially the freedom provided to the game with unstacked cities and the tech tree influenced by the environment.

But I also agree with you, because once they finish the DLC, which will include many patches at that point, the game is a polished, amazing gem.
