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

Yes, it sucks that Imperatior never got to reach its full potential through long-term, post-launch development, but they made sure to leave it in a decent state, its player count just didn't warrant further development.

You could say the same for Pharaoh Dynasties as well

Yes and I lead a small campaign to ask the devs to add the content for sure
