Mouahahahah!! I must confess. That does make me feel good inside :P

I just checked, for fun. I sorted all non-stickied thread by replies. Rant thread comes in 25th place Among the 24 bigger threads : - 12 are pre-release discussions - 3 are discussions about Steam - 2 are other rants and critic thread (Sulla's analysis) - rest is mostly patch notes...

The game is quite good by now. I would strongly recommand playing it with the expansion Semper Fi. The XP fixes a lot of issues. The learning curve is quite steep if you are not familiar with Paradox games. A new expansion for HOI3 was announced yesterday. The game will continue to improve

I won't answer the OPs question. But I still think the "what's the biggest let down in PC gaming" is an interesting subject to discuss. We've all been let down by games at some point, but it doesn't mean it was a general let down in the gaming industrie. Our own personal expectation should'nt be...
