Will the game be on Xbox Series X?
Will it be like civilization 6? I ask because the description it gives on Microsoft edge says this: Star Trek: Infinite is a 4X grand strategy video game developed by Argentinian studio Nimble Giant Entertainment and published by Paradox Interactive. In Star Trek: Infinite, players take control of one of four Star Trek civilizations interstellar civilization on the galactic stage and are tasked with exploring, colonizing, and engaging minor nations and other major civilizations with diplomacy, trade, or warfare.
When does it come out? On Microsoft edge it says it will release in 2023 and if that’s true we only got a couple days left 😅🤣

So what you are saying is that it is a simplified (more polite than dumbed down) version of stellaris?
No slight intended of course, enjoy whatever you prefer

No worries, I get heated up over my interests too. And you are correct that the learning curve is steep, but that’s pretty much all paradox games. Appealing to a certain niche of history or sci fi nerd who love controlling every single detail.
If you have some questions about stellaris feel free to hit me up, I have over 4k hours logged in the game and written several mods for it.

It took me playing the classic masterpiece designs of board gaming like Agricola, Concordia and Dominion to make me realize how bloated most strategy video games are.
It ain’t about how complex the system is, it is about how meaningful and interesting your choices are and honestly some video games are just horrendous at making you do 1000 little tasks that don’t really matter.
I haven’t played stellaris though.
I think that you have got to learn and come to accept that people have different tastes. Stellaris certainly can be too difficult for some people, but that doesn’t take away from its brilliance.
That massive number of resources, planets, pops, fleets, and everything else is not only understandable but feels magnificent when you have them dancing to your tune. Also my brother in SpongeBob, you literally got mad at a tutorial. On a more serious and hopefully helpful note, the game grows on you like a fungus. It’s really not much worse than Civ. Energy is gold, Minerals and Alloys are effectively Production, Unity is Culture (and works almost identically to Civ V, you can’t use it to outright win is all) and the scinces are well Science. As for all the others, my man those are your Strategic and Luxury resources. But that’s only where the fun starts, the real madness is civ and species generation. I once made space orbital dwelling, advanced robotics having, xenophobic, pacifists that relied on slave labor stolen from nations that declared war on my seemingly defenseless empire. I also made the Megachurch of Dewy, Cheatham and Howe.
Edit: I almost forgot the best terrible civ I made, OnlyStreams.
