This is how I think the peoples' relation to Rome 2 should be as well.
That's nonsense; while Paradox is by no means obligated to produce a sequel, neither are we morally beholden to a notion to engage in loyalty gestures.

come on, mate, dont over-react you mean to say "if you dont make the game I dream of I´ll sue you, Paradox"
I think there no need to go with such a hard lines. if paradox claim us to put our money where our mouth is, they should provide a good concept at least. true that the new engine is a wonder and looking at CK2 and the soon to come EU4 we could expect a quality product but a game concept is much more than the engine. Paradox, give us something! a nice logo, some cool ideas, or even a weird musical!
I'm not so sure it was the time period of the game, as much as the time period of release. I looked at the time line of paradox game releases, and man, from 2008, to 2010 there was frankly an oversaturation, with EU3, Victoria 2, HOI3, and EU: Rome just seemed to not get the same kind of relentless work done to it as the others. I mean look at the mess EU3 was at the beginning, then after 4 more exansions much improved. . Same with HOI3, and ViC 2. Rome didn't get that allowance to evolve, and frankly, I don't think it seems to have ever gotten a coherent feel. They were experiementing, it seems with what they could do with the engine, but it never came together. They never quite decided if it was an EU game or a CK game. Now with CK2, I think Rome could take that style of combined relational dynamics and the better combat, and make a Rome game from it that would work. Heck the maps already there. But hey, what do I know. I just wish they would tell people what's going on with Rome 1, patch or offically shelved.But for Paradox games, this one, for whatever reason, didn't quite take off in terms of popularity. Maybe they think that their specific fan base prefers other time periods.
Well they said in the Ask Paradox Anything video that they would make the game with kickstarter if enough people would pledge to preorder the game.
We didn't promise a kickstarter. What I said was that we were toying around with the idea. IF one was to be made we'd obviously not just throw a logo up there but actually tell you what the game would be and feature.
Honestly it comes from the fact that those of you who want Rome 2 are very vocal - but our, my, guess is that you are few. A potential Kickstarter would be a way for you to put your money where your mouth is. We do not need money to fund it nor are we asking for it. This would potentially be a way for you to show us that there's strength in numbers besides signing a petition like this.
The reason why PDS isn't doing Rome 2 isn't because they don't like the series or think there's a potential in a sequel - it's that the things they're working on now are more fun/exciting for them. There are after all a limited number of developers available.

The problem with Rome 1 was that it's very, very shallow and your actions don't have many consequences and the game has zero depth. The Epigoni mod made it enjoyable and I spent over a week playing it.
Rome is like Sengoku and MotE, a game made with too small a budget, and rushed to finish.
I'd say if Paradox doesn't have enough employees, focus on a single game at a time.
Give a description, and if I like it, I will pledge the going rate of a new game.
