Can't help but feel like I've been purposefully mislead. Sold on the idea of minimum requirements that my system meets (all the minimum requirement testing websites say 3GB, not 3GB plus) now they have my money. If ANYONE by Paradox was involved (IE this was published by the devs) I'd be trying to get my money back.
There is no mention of 64 bit, or needing to make hardcore adjustments to the entire way your computer runs; no mention of how these 3GB minimums only apply if you can magically get the game to run without an operating system, etc so on and so forth. AFAIK the standard in the industry is to list what you need to run the game, INCLUDING the overhead. If I was going for a refund (which I'm not because I respect Paradox too much) I'd do some research to back this up. Doing something because you are being pedantic at being technically correct while violating the normal but unenforceable standard in order to make more money is plain rude.
At this point I'll just sit on the game until I have a computer that can play it, like I did for 12 months after buying EU III without reading the minimum specs.
I have to be honest though this has made it less likely for me to buy any random ole paradox title without doing more research into reviews and the such. Until now I've just used the "blind trust" method, which perhaps, is my fault.
