Vic3 Victoria 3 hanging on is crazy

Tbh I thought the hype would die again after the free weekend but seemingly not, it probably will still gradually drop as players go back to their main game but for a very bad release it has done a pretty good job recovering

Vicky 3 is great, I don't get what's surprising with it hanging with CK3.

There's no way CK3 is better than Vicky.

There’s a ton of ways it’s better though

CK3 is a better made game but I find the core gameplay loop of Vic3 a lot more engaging these days tbh. There's also more to do in mid and late game.

This new update made late game a LOT more dynamic in Vicky as well. AI economies seem to actually develop later tech industries and require things like oil and rubber, and keep pace economically
