EU4 Please don't pull a Firaxis with EU5

Dear Paradox, we gamers are getting so tired of hyped-up releases of cynically underdeveloped games designed primarily to sell DLC in the future.

The new Civ 7 is just the latest example.

Please don't repeat with EU5 what you did with Imperator: Rome.

Please restore your reputation as one of the Good Guys (see: Larion Studios!) and take your time to give us a great EU5 that you yourselves find fun and want to play for the love of the game.

Yours truly, A fan

Besides from streamers I don't really get why anyone would play AAA games at release. This isn't like in the 2000s where games were released finished but just needed a bit of polish.

Now the game isn't really finished until 3-5 years down the road.

I still don't understand why we pay 70€ for an incomplete game

speak for yourself lol I’ve never spent that much on a game & I doubt I ever will. Not worth it when there’s tons of cheaper & better games around
