The EU4 community needs to behave better

[Limbojack]

If you have a group of customers who buy every DLC on release and even pre-order them no matter their quality then why listen to them, they're going to buy the stuff anyway.

Yes, but don't you see how that's the biggest issue here? They have managed to turn the shut-up-and-take-my-money-crowd against them, and considering this is a bunch of people whose pockets PDX has had a rather limitless access to - this mistake might end up costing them a lot. for the first time in twelve years, I have refunded a PDX game and I have no intention of repurchase it unless the price drop by at least half. That's 7 bucks out of the window for PDX, and I'm a part of a 15-20 people MP community where everyone will be doing the same, and I doubt we're the only ones. This is why a community uproar among the previously loyal fans probably is necessary because it sends a signal to PDX that they might be losing some of that guaranteed money, and at the end of the day, money is all they really care about.

Many people spent thousands of hours playing this game yet turn on a dime to pile on criticism which is not even constructive.

People offered constructive critcism months and weeks before the DLC came out. In Dev Diaries and even in the livestreams a few weeks before the release. They knew what was wrong with it before release and yet they still released it in that state. Expecting people not to be angry when they get scammed is naive.

Rebel progress has been ticking up for a few patches now.

With Leviathan they're finding out what happens when you go to like 500% OE.

Even the right religion, right culture provinces [most loyal players] are rising up.

Harsh treatment won't work in this situation.

Unless you install a military dictatorship. Unlimited power!

A reminder that sock puppets are absolutely not allowed, and infractions earned under one account have a nasty habit of working their way up the arm of the puppet operator.
