Also, it's missing a ton of features from CS1's DLCs

A sequel missing features from DLC? In a Paradox game? And it sucks shit at launch? I'm going to need some time to process this... Please give me space to heal while I come to terms with it

Absolutely beyond wild. But like, they put a 2 on this one. You're telling me this is exactly like EU4 and CK3 and HoI4 and Vicky 3? Insane.

At least Stellaris 2 won't let me down.

Stellaris in particular was a absolutely wild release even by Paradox standards. They were reworking core features up until fairly recently, after it had been out for years. It's essentially a completely different game than it was at launch lol. It also had completely dogshit performance for years and years.

CK3 at least felt like a big step up from CK2. It ran well, and had some actually interesting new features in hooks and lifepaths (or whatever they were called).
