I put that I just want them to remaster the old games before they focused on narrative alt-history sandboxes.

Unironically please just give us more-compatible widescreen versions of hoi3/EU3/Vicky2 with better networking and performance and maybe some bugfixes / polish

HOI3 is ugly and janky as sin
Most visually unappealing Paradox game tbh. At least EU3 and Vicky2 look more colorful

Lol I’m now imagining my feelings if paradox had come out with Victoria 3 after a decade and just been like “here, it’s exactly the same, but the screen is wider! That’ll be $50, You’re welcome!”

Thanks, you’ve given me motivation to also complete the survey.

The visuals grew on me overtime as someone who got into it just before hoi4 launched.
But it's from that era where the mechanical depth is much better but they're a bit janky and incompatible and UI doesn't scale. If they could fix that stuff and maybe give those games better networking for MP, they could easily be worth £19.99 again.

I have enough of remasters and 4K editions. Would rather have something improved with new mechanics and ideas

Hello!

The reason we didn't post this on the forum was because our research team wanted to target a specific audience, one we didn't expect to find here. We have however a new survey now which we would like to aim towards you guys here on the forum:


Your participation is most welcome. If you already filled out the survey in the OP you don't have to bother with this one however.

Thanks for your commitment

So does my opinion matter more or less since I filled out the twitter version?

Well, I'm guessing that since we're a player base who knows more about paradox, we can more reliably be predicted whether or not we come back.

I'm pretty sure this was targeted towards players who left and don't follow the game's development, who are at a bigger risk of losing forever since they could just forget about the game and move on.

They're trying to find ways bring back the part of the audience that actively needs to be reached out to, so not us this time.

Sadly I think the targeting makes a lot of sense. The folks on discord are much more likely to touch grass than those of us that post here :D and well, vic3's discord active member count likely dwarfs the forums.

I'm in both so I voted both. I don't know how they model me since I'm a member of 2 different IGs ;)
