>people are still playing the game they spend $500 on
yeah
they are

Should take a couple of years for Eu5 to speed ahead.
Hopefully they don't get too jumpy and start ruining the game to make people switch, but I imagine they will.

>people got burnt out on paradox dlc so are not touching eu5 until it's "complete"

>>2329118
too much tedious building autism for me, ill stick with eu4

These games aren't thought out and planned out well enough
So then they are constantly manually adding "content" via paid dlc rather than organic depth developing in the game from complex mechanics

Also they need to spend way more effort on making a decent MP mode

>Johan releases shitty halfbaked game
>90% of players leave

>By the time said update comes out the game is officially dead
Where have I seen this before?

To be honest, if they get EU5 into a good place and stop fucking with it by bloating the game into oblivion with years of a retsrded dlc treadmill, I’d consider that a big win. I was very happy with how Imperator turned out, and every other nu-Paradox game ended up going to shit because the devs couldn’t stop and leave it alone
It’s a single player sandbox for me to fuck around in, who gives a shit about muh streamers and muh viewers and shit?

Paradox really fucked themselves over a bit here. gamers tend to have short memory but nobody can overlook how much stuff is going to be missing from a base paradox game.

It's not even halfbaked, it's just too good for redditors.

You notice games hype cycles are getting out of control. Like eu5 was the greatest shit ever on release. Loads of youtubers playing it too, mostly paid to.
A bit off topic, but The main reason I haven't bought arc raiders is I'm afraid that the same thing is happening. It's so hard to tell when a game is real anymore when games like megabonk pop up and fall off in a week.

>>2330038
Games like Eu5 are more resilient than Arc Raiders at least.
Like if no one else plays eu5 after tomorrow, I can still have fun with it for a decade.
Arc Raiders is inherently multiplayer so the hype matters to my enjoyment of the game.
Sure, I like playing paradox games in multiplayer, but it's not the only way to play the games.

>entire game needs to be automated otherwise the game needs to be paused every tick and studied for a couple minutes to be efficient
>4trannies have convinced themselves that having no agency in a strategy game is peak because muh depth

there is literally no reason to play EU5 over EU4. The new game design changes made the game worse and less fun

eu5 is tedium maximum. Victoria 3 style economy with 100s of buildings, autistic trade system. ck2 style dynasty mechanics, somehow an even more tedious version of eu4 colonization which was already annoying to begin with. If they cut back the economy system to like 15 buildings and 25 trade goods then it might be manageable and intuitive without having to whip out spreadsheets and do a technical analysis about the price spread on silk between markets

>>2330035
arent those numbers cool for 20 year old game?

>jewish DLC policies ensure no Paradox base game is ever worth spending your time on
>a fucking map painting game chokes high-end PCs because unoptimized piece of shit code
Yeah that's a hard pass from me too

>>2330035
you can play the game without steam, retard.

Yeah we totally needed yet another "EU5 is totally dead, trust me chud" thread.
