@ProudBavaria I think they saw Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Starfield as entries in a single series, and didn’t appreciate that many people are only really interested in some of the franchises. They seem surprised that people care more about the worlds and stories than the game design.
@johndrewmarkley I saw somebody complain about purple clothes in something recently because the dye was historically expensive, as if a fantasy world couldn't have slightly different sea snail populations.
@NapoleonTheLast@ProudBavaria People were mostly mad at CK3 for a relative lack of content and features. Vicky 3 was very buggy, had terrible performance, and many people hated its war systems. The difference in both cases is that they didn't respond by spending 6 months doing what EU5 is doing:
@ProudBavaria This is everything wrong with the game's design in one screenshot. Why bother having formations and a system for simulating battles hour-by-hour if you're just going to do this.
@MarkDiStef They already don't. Was born there and lived there for 36 years. I don't know a single person I went to school with who remains; they can't afford it.
