Please buy Civ 7! Xcom players unite!

[BornToKill]

We all know that Midnight Suns was a financial failure. 😭
That's why it's now even more important that Civ 7 is successful! 📈
If the game is also a financial failure, then we'll probably never get Xcom 3.
So I expect all of you to buy Civ 7. Sure, the game has issues right now, but Firaxis will listen to your feedback. Xcom players unite! 🙏
Where are the whales when you need them?

What are you talking about? If this game is a financial success, then they will invest in content for THIS game.
Xcom as a single player title has (in the eyes of decision makers) less market potential / a greater risk. Jake Solomon is no longer at Firaxis, so who would spearhead the x-com 3development? They didn't even finish xcom 2 and left a lot of threats hanging, so why exactly would people buying CIV make an Xcom 3, just because those titles are under one roof?

There will never be a good western game again. Good luck to China, Japan, South Korea

It's pretty simple.
They would have made Xcom 3 if it wasn't for Midnight Suns.
If Civ 7 also flops, then the future looks pretty bleak for Firaxis.
Xcom is like Civ a fairly successful and, above all, established game series.
Work on Xcom 3 would almost certainly begin fairly soon. The whole team won't be busy with DLC all the time anyway.
Furthermore, people are interchangeable and there is really no reason why a successful series cannot be continued. There is also Diablo 4 now, but people always wanted to tell me that after Diablo 2 and the departure of some top people there would be no successor.

They have not even released another DLC for Xcom 2 that they set up story wise (a terror from the deep stylish DLC), because player numbers for Xcom 2 are just not comparably good. There are 4 times more people playing Civ V than Xcom 2.
Xcom was successful alright, but as a single player focused game it has severe limits to monetasation. Apart from that you need to have a big budget to make it a banger. And therefore key for FIRAXIS decision to make Xcom 3 will be if they expect to reasonably make money from an xcom 3 game and not if they earned money on another game.

I'm pretty sure that the decision to make X-COM 3 does not lie with Firaxis.

I bought and loved both Xcom2 and Midnight Suns. Now I bought Civ7, but I don't see the connection :D Happy if it helps to see a new Xcom3, but I don't think so.

i dont want XCom3 of same quality as Civ7 - if whole studio should be closed and rebooted - SO IT SHALL BE !!

Why would you support bad games by spending money on it? Pay for good games, this one is entirely soulless and even misses the basics.

Support this if you want the franchise to die and the general quality of their games to go down.
