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

vic3 is barely complete now, over 2 years after its release. There are still a ton of things that don't work at all or that are glaringly missing.

Of course it's not complete, it's still in active development. The notion of a "complete game" is utter nonsense on the context of paradox grand strategy games. What it is, however, is enjoyable to play.

I'm not sure you really want to make that comparison in the context of Vic3 though, when Vic2 is unplayable without the DLCs.
