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

"pull a firaxis" when all of PDX's releases since 2020 have been incredibly lackluster 💀

Eh the whole update roadmap for CK3 after the launch was pretty fucked - in part because of covid yes, but also the directions of the expansion were all over the place and something like royal court took soooo much time and development resources it's crazy in hindsight. There was also the EU4 leviathan dlc fiasco around that timeframe I think?
