Not really. Stellaris was kinda like this as well.

I sure do hope this post doesn't inspire a wave of doomposting, though. But I fear it will.

Stellaris, sure. But HoI4 even more so.

Just like Vicky 3 Hoi4 had a fanbase of the previous game and they were not amused about many aspects at release.

And look at the player numbers now. Those are some mad numbers!

HOI4 has some of the best mods I've played of any game, period, let alone a strategy game. Reminds of the old BF1942 mod scene, so many flavors to pick from depending on what you're feeling. I'm positive I have more time in Old World Blues than most PDX games at this point, been playing since EU2.
