I haven't played PDX games in a long time because they're like a time vortex for me that accidentally all my free time. So I'm just avoiding them now while waiting for CK3 to be developed enough to approach CK2. I kind of dislike how culturally Westcentric it is, but it seems a bit silly to complain about it too much, given the name and theme. OTOH, the West is actually a minority portion of the map they're going for, so it's not too silly.
TBH if they just re-released Vicky2 with overhauled economy, I'd be happy. Ok, maybe even just the banking bugs.
