OT: Civ VII worth the money?

I play Civ IV quite a bit and am starting to play Civ VI some more.  It used to run my fan too much for comfort, but I've noticed as the PC constantly updates that games that were hard on the fan are now at a comfy rate.  I'm talking about those updates like to the BIOS and Windows 11 that come out about twice a month.  That's where I suspect the savings are coming from.

And difficult war
It will be conducted
On many fronts
But as long as it takes
We will prevail
Across the world governments
Have heard this message
You're either with us or you're with the terrorists
Tyranny
Terror
& Lawless Violence"
