Why paradox hates Vic II fans so much?

[Mattew1488]

Really, guys. I'm desperate now. It seems like the whole joke was true and there will be no Vic III, not in 2018 or 2019 - never. There are thousands of Victoria fans who are still desperately wait the third game, why wouldnt you make it? What shall we do? Get money on kickstarter? Sign a petition? I know you are an independent company and want to make games in your way, but I do think it is too cruel to make us, your loyal fans, wait for so long...

This is so sad, can we hit 50 likes so admins could see it?

Joke? they explicitly said not this year that was not a joke. Seriously did you really want a game made by Johan to be Vic3 Johan hates Vic. Wait until Henrik or that Scottish guy (Something King) is free they are fans of Vic and will do right by it.

Actually, they love you.

If Paradox was to do Victoria 3, it would be nothing like Victoria 2. It would be catered to more mainstream audience they are targeting for some time now, everything that made Victoria fun and complex would be removed for mana points.

I think Paradox knows Victoria earned its hard core following due to its mechanics and they know they wouldn't be able to replicate it in any meaningful way with their current strategy.

I don 't think so. Yeah Johan has said that if he was to redo it he would like to slim it down but both Henrik and Christopher (King, the guy I was mentioning earlier, the guy who did Vic2) have spoken out for a more Vic Vic. Yeah it would likely get a serious do over when it comes to UI. But I doubt they would sacrifice the spirit of the game.
And they have pretty much admitted that they are at least in preproduction for Vic3. We also know Christopher is working on something that we aren't yet told what it is... seeing he was lead on Vic2, Vic3 is not a terrible guess.

Its probably due to low interest in the time period, it wouldn't garner as many sales as say 'Imperator Rome' because of the popularity of time period at this current point

Or because Vic2 is still selling which EU:rome isn't
