Just let it sink in, Spiff and other youtubers reported these bugs to them and they didn't fix them before release. As I understand it from the few brave souls who bought this turkey it still has most of these problems.

Well EU4 is notorious for bad playtesting so it's not surprising tbh

[@Nerdnumberone]

@@thespiffingbrit How often/quickly do companies fix the bugs/exploits that you find while playtesting? I imagine many of your fans are eager to explore the exploits you demonstrate. Also, how much do you enjoy easily exploited bugs and exploits in your games vs games that are relatively balanced? What about "exploits" that don't remove the challenge, but rather allow for non-standard strategies? For example, if a game like prison architect or game dev tycoon could be effectively played as fraud simulators *without* the fraud exploits being significantly more powerful than the intended strategies. If a bug/exploit is "fixed", do you rejoice? Is it more fun if the exploits are difficult to find or pull off?

[@3st3st77]

@@stojankovacic1524 Yeah. I would be surprised if there was any play-testing involved at all.

Could be they might even think the Wichita were more enlightened techy versions of their angry cousins. i mean if you could take over that whole area before Europeans settled, hats off. i actually always said the north should of had more chinampas instead of european farmers, so its funny to see Spiff doing something similar with irrigation.
