Some shallow people think, people raging because they are turks and their favorite country getting rekt. They are so far from the truth. I've been fighting when Ummayads taking lands from france in CK2, from the early days of eu4 I've been fighting when castile taking lands from france in very early game.
I will still come to this forum and show this circus, no matter which major country at that era. I maybe played 4 times with the ottomans since EU3. They are not my favorite country to play with but the ottomans or france are always a challenge in the game. The challenge is now gone and losing a major powerhouse is region in effecting like a domino and ruining the whole enjoyment.
To put the cherry on top developers like @Trin Tragula saying they still think Ottomans are a major power and the rest of forum is mocking the situation. Honestly, do what you want at this point. Make the game "more accessible" and ruin the game when doing so.
