>>66751126The hoi series is old but calling hoi4 a zoomer game isn't too much of a stretch. Paradox went against a lot of fan expectations during development and launch. They focused on land combat and unit building then simplified and abstracted everything else. The overall appearance of the game (3D models, abstract map, etc) and the new battle plan system also gave fans the impression that hoi4 was casual game meant for tablets. Not to mention that the game also had a strong emphasis towards fast-paced competitive multiplayer instead of an immersive and "grindy" singleplayer. You now have a hoi title that has a wider outsider appeal. Much of the new audience, naturally, are zoomers.
I genuinely expected paradox to finally come up with a good easy to use OOB system. Instead they scrapped it entirely. Now everything is on the same level, they just expected you to pretend that your corps and army groups exist.
