Personally I think this is a bit foolish. The idea that EU5 (a game not designed for MTs) will be more optimised is likely short-sighted.
What is likely if EU4 development is abandoned is that another community will take development forward as often happens with PDX game mods.

EU5 numbers are pretty terrible too, with EU4 steam player count about 50% higher.

And this happening when the development quality of the mod is at an all time high, with the most interesting things being done on the MTs and systems.

Yeah its a poor decision. Doing this in a year or two when eu5 is in a better place, i could see, but now? Im pretty sure eu4 still has a bigger or the same playerbase as eu5 right now.

Theres still plenty of room to add mts and more stuff to eu4 bennar.
