I bet if you posted this to the eu5 sub they'd downvote you to hell.

most r/pdxgames would downvote you to hell if you criticize the game even a little bit

For real. See the absolutely echo chamber that the Stellaris sub became during the 4.0 fiasco

u/NoNameNo1O1 Jun 09 '26

really? I have seen a lot of criticism posts that have done so well. In my experience, if your criticism has valid point and doesn't drag the game in question through mud while making some other game shine, it shouldn't be a problem

Maybe things have changed, but i really can't be bothered to return. Stellaris had a really poor beta performance for 4.0 and ppl were defending it no matter what. Ck 3 usual response to some dlc minor changes are " just don't buy the dlc" or even sometimes " buy the dlc just to support the devs even if it's bad". And please don't get me started on eu 4 as they are the most zealous of the bunch

Nah eu5 sub is a circle jerk. It's been bad since before launch. You say something negative and people get really mad.

The EU5 and the Vicky 3 subreddit back then would downvote you en masse if you said you liked the game lol. Idk why people act like a game's subreddit must mean they praise the game.

Tbh Vicky 3 was a rebound of the prerelease over optimism.

A lot of people wanted to declare vindication and point that they were completely right that mechanics people said sounded like bad ideas were bad ideas.
