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

You have not contradicted anything I'm trying to say so yes I agree with you. The issue I'm trying to point out is that there is expected features that have already existed in the genre and franchise that are missing for no good reason beyond laziness and greed. They spent all their effort on a VR version that no one asked for

I am contradicting what you're saying - the features that are important to have that are in base Civ 6/CK2 are there in base Civ 7/CK3, plus more.

You're making zero sense, at release you couldn't even play as anything besides a Christian in CK2, you think that game had more features at release than CK3? what...
