assume that one morning you have a delicious nugget for breakfast and the next morning you have the same. all morning you eat the same.what do you feel after five years about that delicious nugget?
and every game can be that nugget. did you feel that comes Repetitious?Did you think ever that a new title can be more interesting than a DLC? I know that I will become ban after this but it has worth it.

Everything can grow stale. But WoW is still kicking around and it's way older. I have no inherent fear for this or any other game dying out. Que sera, sera.

I play four games. When I tire of CK2 I put it away and play something else. EU4, Stellaris, or HOI4. I might have a fifth game if Surviving Mars has good replay value. I would definitely switch to CK3 if they move to that imminently. I don’t think anyone will be banned for requesting CK3. Any ban would be for something like insulting fellow game players and such unsavory behavior.

While I would love a CK3, I would probably be fine with them never making another. There's nothing else like this game, I can't see a time where I'd just decide that I'd never play it again. I usually end up wanting to play something else or just have life to take me away from the game, it's hardly ever that I simply just get bored of it. Then I'll see something or read something and I'll get inspired to have a play through. It's not a fantasy game so it's all relatively real to what has already happened. There aren't different maps, it will always be the land mass we have without mods of course. I've been playing on and off again for years, why would I stop? Like I mentioned, I think a CK3 would be cool, there's definitely room for improvement. I'd also would be totally content if it never happened.

I play four games. When I tire of CK2 I put it away and play something else. EU4, Stellaris, or HOI4.
I've got a similar sort of thing going on. CK2, Mount & Blade:Warband, and EU4, NBA2k18. I tried Stellaris but it didn't turn out to be my cup of tea, and the same goes for HOI4. Glad Paradox wasn't around when I was in school, I'd have never gotten anything done. These games would have ruined my life back then lol.

When did they start developing it? I've always just assuming about 12 months, prior to release. So... if that's right, then just over SEVEN YEARS now, they've been developing it.

7 years? And probably (at least) one more on the way? Yeah. Nothing else needs to be said. That speaks for itself.

CK2 had a 2 years development time. So 8 all in all so far.

'So far.' So what's the plan? A nice, solid decade of CK2 development... followed by a 5-year respite? Then start the process again w/ CK3?

It's not a Stalinist '5-Year Plan'. It's a Swedish 15-Year Plan! So if the cycle is 15 years, you can calculate how many sequels you're going to see in your lifetime, based on life expectancy.

Have you smoked? Done drugs? Spent too much time in the Sun? Any chronic diseases? Family history of illness? Healthy diet? Well, you MIGHT live to see CK4. -If the RNG rolls in your favor. ;)

It is not necessarily that I would only play Ck3 you could basically do the Dynasty stuff in every setting - but there is no other game that does that!

I really hope Paradox will do another game in the same vein soon. Maybe not a real sequel but a spiritual successor.

I play Sims 2. A 2004 game. CK2 is just a baby! A good game needs to marinate well.
