as an ex-paradox fanboy i hate paradox fanboys.

their monetization model is straight up exploitative and they abuse the studios they act as publisher for regularly.

on top of that, their games give a whitewashed view of history and reinforce people’s bad historigraphical and historical practices. there’s a reason there’s a smattering of braindead fucking neonazis festering on the paradox forums…

There is something sinister about the fact that the holocaust isn't a factor in their ww2 game, but the purges are a central crippling mechanic for the soviets. Also the fact that the holocaust isnt real but their other games allow for a genocide button.
