But, realistically, even if the rule changes are fairly minor, will you want to continue the existing game?

It really comes down to the amount of changes and whether any new features are added. But there will always be a little nagging feeling that existing games were played under a different set of rules. It's almost like you were playing a mod or a tutorial, and now the real deal is available.

Well due to my constraint and my playing speed, I clocked over 65 hours on EU4 and still on my first game.
And I plan on finish it before I start my second one, no matter how many patches are in the way. XD

It depends on your playstyle. If you only got a couple of hours each day to play, you would for sure not want to lose your current game and possibly your coming achievements, one month into a game. If you binge-play, you could just as well start a new game.

If you are playing an iron man game on hard to get off nations then yes you might keep playing.

I am not giving up on my Ironman Najd where I've already Westernized and have a PU over the Ottomans in the 1550s. And the odds of the PU happening again are fairly low, so I'm definitely keeping it.
