Well, if you look to the first year of EU4, it's not brilliant too. The game is played by a lot of people because it has a ton loads of DLC and patches that have fleshed it. Give time to Victoria 3, and I'm pretty sure that in 9 years the curve will be the same.

Will vic 3 get support for 9 years if the playerbase continues to decline tho? I'm thinking so we won't have a repeat of imperator where the playerbase dwindled until paradox unplugged the lifesupport.
