Laith said that Paradox is letting him say whatever he wants

Sure, but he also has pretty close ties to Paradox since he has hosted various tournaments and whatnot for them, so he doesn’t want to ruin that by saying something bad about the game.

There’s a bit of that w/ Florry too, but I think he is more likely to go deep into the mechanics and find issues. And he did point out a few issues.

But yeah, I’m sure his take was awesome too, and I’ll probably end up watching it too. Everything I’ve seen from blog posts to Florry’s review has made me super excited. Most of the things I dislike about EU4 are getting fixed (e.g. it uses all cores!!), and there’s new stuff to play with. I’m super stoked about the whole pop idea, and I think it’ll be really fun in an EUV context.

So yeah, here’s hoping that the release is solid and comes soon-ish. Since they’ve already given pre-release access to streamers, it shouldn’t be too long now. Hopefully early this summer. :)
