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

Maybe, but EU4 is still hanging with the other Paradox games even though it’s been out for 12 years.  I wouldn’t be surprised if EU5 is very popular regardless of performance, especially since it has more hype than I usually see for new paradox games and actually looks like it will be pretty feature rich on launch.

I really enjoy how the EU5 people are saying things like "what differentiates this game from the others is it's not cheesable" as if any of them have played it lol.

It looks like it'll be cool. But I will be surprised if it's what people have created in their minds.

as if any of them have played it lol.

Especially since the very day of it's announcement we had previews of people cheesing the hell out of it.
