>Firaxis Layoffs

Civ 7 has fundamental design flaws. Leaders not being tied to civs. Civs morphing into other civs between eras. Eras having hard breaks between each other. All of these were terrible decisions that never should have made it to the final product.

The people behind those decisions need to go. Firaxis needs to swallow their pride and go back to the CIV 5 and 6 formula that worked. If they don't CIV 7 will never find an audience.
