If you're insulting the founder of a country, there's no reason to recommend this game! We do not accept the insult directed to Atatürk. We consider this an insult to all the Turks in the Hearts of Iron community. Apologize and fire that r*cist employee, shame on you Paradox!Show moreShow less

Fun game, but Paradox's idea of a "base game" is literally the framework of a game, and then to make all the needed bits into "DLC". I'm not paying $20 for new focus trees for tiny countries. I'm not paying $20 to literally have mechanics like espionage, which should be in the base game. $6 just to hear voicelines during gameplay? How about you make expansions, and not paywalls Paradox? This is sickening.Show moreShow less

I am a 38 y/o father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game. I am a single father to my son, who is now 16. Samuel got this game for Christmas in 2021 from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with him, for he is always out with his friends or just watching people play on YouTube. I had him create a Steam account for me, and purchased this title to see if I could perhaps play alongside him. I loaded into the game, chose my nation, and started playing, except I was stuck on what you were supposed to do. I asked Samuel for help, and he hosted a multiplayer match so that I could join. I loved it as it was the best time I had spent with my son since his mother passed away due to C-19. Hearts of Iron IV has since then, brought me and my adolescent son closer again, to the point he's found the enthusiasm to join me for fishing trips to our local lake. This purchase, albeit perhaps insignificant to some, has reminded me how there is fun to be had in video games despite my age. I just wish I had more time to play with him at home, though for now I'll settle for hotseat matches on his account; sometimes we argue about which focus tree to take next!Show moreShow less

Calling Atatürk “controversial” and banning people just for using his picture as their profile photo is more than enough reason for me to stay away from this game.Show moreShow less

So, I decided to go with Luxembourg, since hey, might as well try something hard right? I spent meny years improving my nation's industry and infrastructure. After building up I thought it'd be nice to have some friends and wanted to buddy up with the mighty UK. They didn't want me in, thinking I'm too weak and pathetic. Then it all began. I swore vengeance on those damn imperialist. I began to plot my revenge. I hired a fascist demagogue to change my ideology while rushing nuclear research despite the massive penalties. After a succesful coup, or as it will be known in Luxembourgian history - unification of my people under one banner I joined the Axis since both Germany and me had mutual enemies. With their help I was able to unite the Benelux region under my rule, gaining more precious factories and people to force into my legions. I helped the mighty Reich in conquest of France, being rewarded with another small chunk of land. Everything was going according to my plan. But then a certain Austrian thought it'd be smart to attack the USSR. At first everything was fine, but then, oh god... Then the blasted British landed troops in France. So here I was facing the hordes of imperialist pigs while my best pal was off in Russia causing havoc. But I knew what I had to do. I had to stall them as long as possible, and that I did. Eventually Italaians and few Germans came to help and the British advance was slowed down or even halted at times. Good, good, just a bit more time. I'll show those islanders how "weak and pathetic" I am. I'll show them. In late 1944 the first nuclear bomb was produced. But I couldn't drop it without air superiority, so I waited and built up more airforce to help the Germans win the air war in the regions. And the help I provided proved very significant, the might Luxembourgian air force dominated the skies and allowed me to drop my revenge. Oh what a wonderful sight it was to see London in ruins. Does this seem weak or pathetic to you? Does it? Thought so. Sould've accepted my into yourfaction you wankers. 11/10 Would nuke London againShow moreShow less

I love Hearts of Iron IV, but I am deeply concerned by the statements attributed to Nicholas Hubert about Atatürk and the reports of Turkish players being banned from Discord. I expect Paradox Interactive to address this publicly and take responsibility. Until Paradox ends its employment relationship with Nicholas Hubert, I will stop playing Hearts of Iron IV and buying Paradox games. I encourage other players who share these concerns to join the boycott.Show moreShow less
