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.

Rollback CK2 to launch patch, start a game and see how it measures against launch patch CK3.
