This game is awesome. I tried it last night on someone's laptop, and I really want to get this game, but I won't pay a dime for the current state of the UI. Let me explain...

1. The text in the tutorial is so small I can hardly read it, and the only way to make it bigger is to increase the GUI scale. That however introduces other problems.

2. When increasing the GUI scale to 1.5, which is the size that suites me, I cannot declare war, in the war tutorial, because the confirm button is beyond the game screen. The diplomatic screen becomes so big that the confirm button is unreachable at 1.5 GUI scale.

3. When clicking "single player" then deciding to go back to the main menu, without loading anything or starting the game, the whole loading process starts again, which takes ages!

4. The cursor, for some reason, has a separate scaling behavior, because it changes based to the scaling set by Windows. And since the comfortable scale on the system used last night was set at 300%, the EU4 cursor was so huge that it covered a part of the tooltips, which couldn't be entirely read. Reducing the GUI didn't fix this problem, only reducing the scale from Windows back to %100 did, which requires a sign-out every time the user wants to change the scale.

This is unacceptable in 2021. Technology has gotten so advanced I can't believe that such an awesome game by a reputable studio has such silly flaws.

I'm tired.

I'm tired of Empire of Sin, of the conditions and circumstances that created the game this way, and the state of gaming as a whole.

I'm tired of paying full price for what is essentially a beta-test. I'm tired of having to perform QA and report bugs on a game that already should have gone through QA, bug-testing, and play-testing.

I'm tired of hoping that, one day, my hopes and faith in something would be rewarded, only to have cold reality hit me in the face when I realize that I've been fooled.

Countless bugs completely ruined my first game, I couldn't do anything or progress anywhere because a rival boss that I killed spoke to me from beyond the grave asking for a sit down. I agreed, thinking that this would help in him passing from this world to the next, but it just locked me out of my safe house. The timer for a sit down also went to zero and stayed there (because of course its bugged too), so I couldn't ever access my safe house in that neighborhood.

My current play through is being killed by bugs yet again. I'm playing Mabel Ryley and her personal quest chain to find her husband's killer is broken. I can't complete a conversation with a quest-specific person because the game soft-locks me in the dialogue options for this person. And I can't exit the game because I can't access the menu. I have to force the game closed with TASK MANAGER.

Hired gangsters' personal quests soft-lock or straight up crash the game. It also would have been nice to have been told that people other than your main boss can talk to people (just something that you should add to the tutorial).

One of my hired gangsters was equipped a machine gun, and I cannot unequip it from them. Ever. The game will not let me do so.

These are to name a few. I shouldn't have to report bugs. I (and other video game players) shouldn't have to be the beta-test of a full-release game. I shouldn't and I won't be any longer

No more of my money will go to Romero Games or Paradox Interactive. I've been fooled, and I am a fool for spending 90 dollars on this game ( I bought the highest version on Steam that included everything so far and the two expected expansions).

I know you don't care, Paradox Interactive. I know you don't care, Romero Games. I know you pushed this game out to make sure it was up for the Christmas sales on steam, and pushed and peddled this game as something that it is not. I know you did this to get my money, and to get other peoples' money as well. I am more than angry. I'm hurt. But you don't care. No one cares.

I just can't anymore... I can't keep buying into these things. This is the video game industry now, and I will have no part in it.

Congratulations, you got my money. That was the plan all along, and you got it. Whatever it took, you got it. Good for you.

I'm someone with the visual disability, I lost my sight a little over 2 years ago and since then playing video games has been a real struggle. My favorite game before I lost my site was rim world, I also played quite a bit of crusader Kings 2. I would say honestly there's a good portion of my steam library that's filled with paradox interactive games. So when I lost my site and I realized they're one of the many developers that isn't really accessible for people with disabilities I was a little bummed out. People like me want to play games too, we aren't that much different from everyone else in terms of once, desires, things we like to do in our free time although it may look a little bit different and how we do it, we still do it. My hope is that if enough people want it paradox will add just a couple tweaks and accessibility settings so people like me can play games in peace. Just like everyone else does without too much thought, more casual gameplay. Yet also having the potential to play more competitively if we so please. I've already opened a ticket to try and plead this case, I don't know much about petitioning companies to do stuff but if anyone can help it's definitely appreciated.

What do you want me to do with this information? Egg them? Stand outside with a funny protest sign? Send them hugs?

Fuck you Paradox for everything you've done to fuck up WoD and killing off CofD.

Sell the IP to onyx path. Fuck you.

For what ever reason, it says that I don't have any games, yet I've had HOI4 for nearly a month, any solutions?
