They got the money from the DLC sales, why would they care about fixing a product you already brought and can't refund.

Crusader Kings III Available Now!
The realm rejoices as Paradox Interactive announces the launch of Crusader Kings III, the latest entry in the publisher’s grand strategy role-playing game franchise. Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.
Nonsense. Hardly any company this size cares more about its customers than Paradox does.
I too would prefer that Paradox did certain things differently, but it is obvious that they care.

They don't. One of the devs said, when I displayed a bug that was simple to solve, that being simple to solve it doesn't mean it was going to be a part of the next patch. And that it's utter bs, why won't you fix 20 more simple things in 1-2 hours of work? Unless you either a. have no idea what to do, because devs are shared between games, and they totally forget what they did 3 months ago, or b. they purely don't care. (a.) also means that they don't really care about the customers and they just milk the cow as much as they can.
If you don't have a dedicated team you can't even fix the simple things quick because it takes time first to figure out what you or somebody else did. I know, cause I also do projects (smaller of course) for my clients, and when some client after 6 months needs something more, it takes more to figure out things even if I used a masterplan for the project, than to do the things required.

The tech system is still the same one we've had in the beginning. The monarch power issues that arise when the AI just gets free 6/6/6 and you can't even exploit a tech gap (because they're always drilling for free) the fact that AI just base races you every war, inability to even request vassal troops (Hoi4 has this easily, why is this not in eu4 already???)
One more thing. Lucky nation. Remove it. It does not add challenge. It does not add fun. Ironman games are already RNG heavy enough, why allow further RNG with ai weighted results to ruin a game? Who enjoys restarting until they get an optimal setup? At this point, I'd welcome EU5

It's now been over 16 WEEKS since release and 1.30 is still riddled with bugs. Any other game dev would have dealt with it by now or at least offer an apology

I'm playing a relaxing normal France game. Started it in 1.30.4. I am allied with Castille since day 1. They inherit Aragon. They never loose a single war. I helped them having Marroco land. They did not participate to the thirty years holy war. I killed Portugal so they have almost no competition in colonasing south america.
It's 1600 and they have more than 11k debt.... Yes, it's fixed...

The ai is clearly still messed up. I just got attacked in my game and ALL my allies refused to join. If you cant figure out how to make the ai manage its economy better at least reduce or remove the deficit malus for joining defensive wars. I can live with allies not joining offensive wars but suddenly losing all your allies when attacked is gamebreaking.
Fix your stuff darn it....its not rocket science just bad service

Fundamental issue leading to AI debt is that the AI still builds useless crap.
This is REALLY easy to solve. All you have to do is mod the buildings file to make the AI build temples, workshops and manufactories.
I really dont understand why Paradox doesnt do it.

They let DDRJake leave. That was probably a mistake, but certain players must share responsibility for the mistake, since those players were the ones who unwisely demanded the mistake.
DDRJake was excellent. It's nothing against the current director, but the notion that the game would be better managed without DDRJake's direction was always doubtful. DDRJake is gone, now, and now players don't like the results. Unfortunate.

Hahaha Paradox doesn't give a single solitary shit about it's customers. They charge crazy amounts of money for DLC that is almost always broken so that we can QA test it for them and they can then try to fix those bugs, if they feel like it. They release steaming garbage alphas like Imperator and HOI4 as full games so that we can test them for $50 a piece and they can consider our advice on them, if they feel like it, Imperator is still greatly lacking in all departments. I will say they at least seem to allow criticism more than most companies, but that seems to be because they just ignore it for the most part, it rarely seems to get taken to heart. Let's face it, if there were another studio was even close to making the types of games Paradox does, Paradox would be out of business very quickly.

If Paradox did not care about its customers, then why would they let @Rounoush's comment remain in view on Paradox's own discussion board?
They do read the boards and they do censor comments (I should know), but not comments like that.
Give Paradox some credit. You don't have to like their games (though I do), but making and maintaining these games cannot be as easy as it looks. Sometimes bugs that look trivial to fix (a) aren't, or (b) are not believed by the developers to be bugs.
Paradox lets one play an old version if one is dissatisfied with the new. This is a concession on their part.
Personally, I would recommend buying the DLCs.
