Do you ever imagine how much better this world would be if we all spent 5.5 million hours of our free time on charity work rather than on playing CK2 and EU4 last year? And cry a little inside? ;-)
Actually I told my son yesterday, paraphrasing
"I just read people have spent 5.5m hours playing EU4 and CK2. These people are typically lawyers, engineers, historians, really educated people... imagine what they could have done with 5.5m man-hours".
I've got nothing to feel guilty about, I would have wasted the time anyway and playing games has actually actively prevented me from further harming society. But the rest of you should feel disgusted with yourselves.
Think of it this way:
Because these amazing people spend their recreation time in the noble pursuit of playing Paradox games, it expands their minds and refreshes their souls, allowing them to be that much more productive, insightful and creative during their working hours, which makes the planet a beautiful place to live and promotes world peace. So you could say that Paradox is in the World peace business. Yup, Studies have shown
Now just imaging the evil world we would have if these great people had used the same time to watch say, "Reality TV". Shudders!

Yep, this is the way I look at it.
Generally the more mentally stressful your job is the more you need some sort of mental stress relieving outlet to not go batcrap insane. Grand strategy games usually fit that role pretty well.
Can we expect the addition of South American tribes - Tupi tribes, Tupuia tribes etc - in EU4, if so, when and how.
About PDS. Browsing through the Advent calendars I didn't see Chris King, the lead designer of Vicky II among other things. Did he leave ? If so, I hope everything runs all right for him. He had been around for a long time at PDS if I'm not mistaken.
Best asked in the EU4 forum, thanks. This thread is really for questions that don't belong elsewhere.
Yes, he left some months ago. IIRC there was something about an independent project.
What happened to the female developer that coded the humongous number of HOI3 provinces? does anyone remember her forum nick?
Now that Paradox has a random world creation tool is a 4x game closer to reality?
Chiwiss left a few years ago and is no longer in the industry.
2 questions:
do you guys follow AARs?
(more importantly) do you guys follow baseball?

Hi Paradox Team,
could it happen, that one day EU lasts over the age 1821 (maybe till the cold war? I would buy it)!
