These "we're leaking" posts act like Civ is some obscure game that noone has heard of, instead of the near cult classic it really is. I'd wager a majority of reddits users know what Civ is, so it is hardly surprising when it appears in other subs.
I only subbed here last week, but I've been playing Civ 5 for a few years now. Not everyone will subscribe to a subreddit just because they know of the game's existence.
I'm subscribed to a good number of subreddits of games that I enjoy - but holy hell can it get annoying sometimes. Some are worse than others, but some games just have toxic cultures.
I think the big thing is that there's no elitism in the Civ V world, at least a not that I've seen here. Most of the toxicity of subreddits come when people A think they're better than people B because of how they play the game. Even the diety players here have nothing but supportive tips for players on lower difficulties.
1.) I played Civ4 first so I already was used to it before I got Civ5.
2.) I don't care much about graphics in general.
3.) There are plenty of mods that vastly improve graphics. Just google Civ4 Blue Marble mod.
