I probably spent somewhere between 100-200€ on EU4 back in the day over a couple of years. Still missing half the DLC. Still can't play any African nation without all my troops and advisors looking like Prussians. Still don't have access to some of the special mission trees and mechanics needed to do an interesting playthrough of many nations.

They apparently want another 212€ for me to get the full game, or pay a subscription of 8€/month.

Fuck them please pirate their games or don't play them at all.

Vic3 doesn't even have gold---> minting as a resource

But it has!

No it had gold as a "you get magic money" there's no physical supply chain of gold or silver required to mint at all with subsequent shortages impacting efficiency and there's no such thing as inflation
