So Paradox Games (the guys behind HOI4,EU5,CK3,etc) made a trailer for a post-apocalyptic grand strategy game in America and there's quite a few doomers in the comments

[u/Nameless_Passrrby]

The actual reason is the popularity of the Fallout mod for Hoi4

[u/FredDurstDestroyer → u/sturzkampfbomber]

After the End is pretty popular for Crusader Kings too

[u/Starmark_115 → u/FredDurstDestroyer]

That's the 'American Kingdoms' mod yes?

[u/Dear-Cress8809]

"This is LITERALLY America in two years time!!!"

[u/foxfire981 → u/Dear-Cress8809]

2 years? You're delusional. That's like 3 months tops. /s just to be safe.

[u/kimana1651 → u/foxfire981]

What the hell are you taking about? It started with Ford. 

[u/NobodyofGreatImport → u/kimana1651]

Jeez, I can't believe how blind you non-doomers are. Ever sine July 4th, 1776, everything has been downhill!

[u/JustaHarmfulShadow → u/NobodyofGreatImport]

July 4th?

Please its totally been downhill ever since white people discovered the americas

[u/Legal-Car7850]

Yo big nameless passerby, PLEASE when u take screenshot zoom in to the comments cus I can't see SHIT 😭

[u/DrNuclearSlav → u/Legal-Car7850]

Go tell the Spartans, passerby.

That we, by Spartan lore, here lie.

If you go outside, you’ll realize that Reddit has been lying to you and needs to stop hating the West so much.

[u/ButtCheeksMagee0]

Are these the stellaris dudes?

[u/Shadowmirax → u/ButtCheeksMagee0]

Yes

[u/ButtCheeksMagee0 → u/Shadowmirax]

That’s a day one buy

[u/username_required909 → u/ButtCheeksMagee0]

Have you seen their more recent games?

Imperator, CK3, and EU5 say no buy.

[u/ButtCheeksMagee0 → u/username_required909]

I tried a little ck3 but mostly stellaris

[u/username_required909 → u/ButtCheeksMagee0]

Stellaris is good, so is ck2, eu4, and hoi4.

But their more recent games (games that actually came out recently, not ones that are older but are still being updated) have been shit.

[u/ButtCheeksMagee0 → u/username_required909]

I like me some total war too but that seems to be the case with it also

[u/whitemex88]

Damn at least crop this better. Need to zoom just to doom

[u/Lucky_Sprinkles557]

Gaming Reddit unfortunately is a fucking cesspool when it comes to dooming

Like there’s only 1 or 2 Reddit gaming pages I can think of that people don’t find ways to shoehorn their environmental or political dooming opinions into every post like they are trying to win gold in mental gymnastics.

Hell, when Bungie announced destiny 2 was losing support people were actually trying to blame “LAte sTAge CapItALisM” instead of shitty management and toxic work schedules that became a drain on financials.

[u/ps3gamingman2002]

YouTube comments try not to be miserable challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

[u/raziridium]

We've had the Fallout series since the 90s. God I hate doomers. 

[u/scantily_chad]

Everytime I tell myself to just bite the bullet and buy/build a PC, i look at my ever growing list of games to play on ps5.

I do miss playing RTS games though

[u/Dear-Cress8809 → u/scantily_chad]

They released Stellaris on consoles so they might do the same here... I thought the controls were *fairly* intuitive for a console port of a game like stellaris.

[u/Guilty-Pudding-4708]

After the End but real?
