The value story

It has been discounted 111 times in the 14 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 75 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $4.99 at 75 percent off still sits 25 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 89 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Victoria 3 ($49.99, scores 24) and Europa Universalis IV ($49.99, scores 74) both outscore it.

There's random jank, weird bugs here and there, and sometimes the UI feels like it's held together with old paper...

Paradox has lost my respect. After what happened regarding Atatürk, I have no reason to support or recommend their games. I will not buy another Paradox game until they take responsibility for this.
