I stopped playing in early 2018, no particular reason for it just moved to other games. I thought I noticed a tonal shift when DLC started getting added. Turns out I was just noticing Paradox's influence. Upon playing again in 2025, it has become apparent that this game has lost it's soul to corporate greed(and its ability to fix bugs). At least it allows for booting on the 2018 edition(prior to Paradox acquiring the game), because of course the original team's work is still better than several years of vague "QOL" updates and shoehorned DLC(why tf did we need a power export DLC that doesn't use prison labor?).

Paradox ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ruined this game. It's a barely playable buggy mess now. Go to hell, Paradox.

An amazing concept but horrible execution. Missing too many QoL features but worst of all the game is completely unintuitive. Why does it take 1 in game hour to walk a few inches on the screen.
