Steam Stats - why has CK2 so much fewer daily players than other three main Pdox games?

Wow, PDX just make this thread aged very badly.

HoI4 and Stellaris you can play after a long day of work.
for CK2, you need to be awake and paying attention
So more play time for them, but more enjoyment of CK2

I base my play on mood. CK2 is newest to my library (as of the Easter Sale) and I enjoy the RPG aspect so it currently has my attention with EUIV in close second (EUIV just feels so heavy comparitively that I feel the need to, I dunno, stock up on canned goods before I start playing) and HoI4 and Stellaris are for when I'm in the mood for their specific genres. So I bounce around, too.

And I think the Easter and Steam sales are Good Things and I read nothing into it; CK3 will be announced when it is.

Especially because now CK2 is one of the MOST PLAYED GAMES on stemcharts.

I'm just done promoting it on all the online communities I'm part off, so it better be the most played game.

140,000 players? Nice!

Don't get too excited: I've gained weight.

I think CKII is winning now.

The devs were reading this thread and thinking 'Let's troll the fans and change this!' 'Bu how can we get so many new players to surpass the other games?!' 'We make CK2 for... FREE!' *heavy breathing*

Like a proper, up to date game engine perhaps? One that fully utilizes all cores?

How do you think LoL has so many players despite being such a shitty game?
