Time to load up Civilization IV. Gotta pump those numbers up.

Recently I have played Civ 6 a lot. Still such a pleasant game with the map painting of districts and wonders and shit. The sound cues are on point too. If the AI wasn't retarded it would be a great game.
 
If they do realize their mistake, why not abandon the failed title and simply announce a proper faithful Civ game? I hate this corpo marketing where they go half-way in admitting fault. Rushing a new early access release is probably more viable than keeping 7 on life-support for a few years.
There's probably dev egos involved. The failure of Civ 7 is an enormous repudiation of Ed Beach's (and his gaggle of nuFiraxis retards) idiotic direction.

Well developing a new game also takes immense time and resources. If they go that route they'd have to come up with another gimmick to justify not just going back to an older civ altogether.

But hey, they're finally adding a Sid Meier's Civilization mode to Humankind 2.

Well to be fair Firaxis are not the only developers that tend to release a new entry into an established series that goes on step forward, a dozen back and a couple sideways. Can't really think of to many games that genuinely are just straight up improvements over their predecessors especially at launch.

There is a simple way to restore a lot of goodwill and trust, but I doubt they would do that. They easily can justify dropping 7 and developing 8 and releasing it in such a state like Civ 5 and 6 were at the end of their respective lifespans. Just release a game with all bells and whistles already in the base game and go from there.
