Is This True?

It would be too easy for pirates to hack the game.

As oppossed to the fact that you don't need the CD at all to play it?

The masses are the ones to appeal to when making games; Paradox must do this to survive.

And the masses are brilliant enough not to buy a game they didn't want.
Most would rather spend time on trying to win than on how the many arcane points of the game work.

That is fun for some, but not for most. And the sales showed it.

The period didn't help any.

Started a 1.03 game, saw I had to pause and adjust sliders to stop the money bleed, and shut it off.

Maybe a return to what made EU2 fun to play?

Actually, with the greater profit per unit of direct sales Paradox could make the same money with less sales. Of course, mass appeal is good too if it can be gotton without turning it into C&C (Not that I dislike C&C).

Yeah, that saves people spending a whole of 5 minutes getting a no cd crack

It also avoid people not being able to install the game due to over-zealous copy protection.

I had this issue, too.

I tried to like Victoria, I really did. But so far, the game is more of a "challenge" than entertainment. I spend the first 20 minutes of any game just fixing whatever country I play so that I'm not bleeding money. This results in a massive debt and a western great power that has a declining literacy rate and out of control corruption.

This game isn't fun yet.

But it's better than 1.02
