The bone-dry sci-fi of Stellaris, a game that doesn't even work

If we measure performance of games in terms of sales, @KevinC, certainly Stellaris has done much better than HOI4. If we measure it as in critical acclaim, I think that HOI4 did better. And last, if we measure it in terms of “disappointment of expectations” I think Stellaris set the expectations very high.

I don’t disagree! Just to be clear, I was only speaking at to why I believe Paradox isn’t short-changing Stellaris in regards to dev resources. My impression is that they market it a little harder than their other games and their sales figures look pretty good compared to HOI4 which also is humming along in terms of development.
