>Not even after 5 months after release they are altering the game so that players can toggle off the pseudo-railroaded "victory conditions" and the "requirements" for "switching to another civ" (eg: before you needed 3 sources of horses to unlock Mongolia, now you can be Mongolia no matter what)
>Sooner or later, Firaxis will at least put as much "band-aids"/toggles as possible so that the game can resemble a "classic mode" to appeal to the (vast majority) of players who are still playing VI.
What went wrong?

Our audience will buy it no matter what so we need to change the game for the modern audience.
