After having waited this long without any contact from the Paradox team, I fear we have to face the uncomfortable truth that they have indeed been turned into zombies.

Sad as it seems, there is some evidence. As mentioned, silence. Zombies aren't known for their speaking roles, so I think that is a pretty big warning sign.

Another piece of evidence crossed my path as well. Sources say that a new resource will be added to HOI4...Brains! I know that sounds controversial, but not as much as which nations Paradox thinks has brains.

Don't believe me...well I bet that when a dev see's this, they will post something, most likely mmmmmmmmmm...brains!

It's the Z strain of Covid, and what really happened to DDRJake . They saw his potential and ate his brains.

No DD might be a good thing.....
No DD == Paradox might finally start churning out country unit packs instead of half finished DLCs
It more likely is a result of the glacial pace of development of HoI4. 1 dlc a year is a bit slow considering we only get 4-5 countries per dlc, and for some reason they've prioritized countries that didn't even participate in WWII (Portugal, really?) over ones that did - for a Soviet main, it's gotten impossible to play this game without mods to fix the Eastern Front, which I should not have to remind them was the biggest front of the war.

Everyone be cool, we can get through this together. All we need to do is find a thinly populated area to shelter and wait out the storm...

Sources say the reason Dan can't type now is that he's actually chewed all his fingers off.
Z strain, or Russian Sleep Experiment ?
