I like the game well enough actually. I do think the game has problems, like for how complex it is, EU4 has surprisingly little depth once you figure out more-or-less how it works. In fact figuring out how it works is probably the most interesting thing about it.

Anyway, I'm not sure how much I paid exactly because it was so long ago. I did strategically buy the important DLC, I usually bought it a discount, but still I paid probably closer to 200€. The fact that apparently I should have paid 400€ to get the full game is just insane to me.

I feel nickel and dimed, I can't justify that expensive of a hobby.
