Why do most Paradox moderators have copy and paste beliefs in a friendly community that can take a joke?

But your answer is because We have had serious threats of violence including death threats against staff and other members in the past which tends to make us more vigilant about these issues.
We are not unreasonable, no one was infracted or formally warned for these posts, they were escalating in nature and I simply wanted to halt it before it got to the point I need to take more direct action.
If anyone wishes to discuss the matter further or has further concerns feel free to PM me.
Please do not derail the thread with this issue.
And we love lazy guys and copy/pasting (the single best command in computers), so we keep buying. As long as we keep buying, the keep pasting... It's a never ending circle! I just wonder why it takes them so long to paste new expansions / games??
Laziness is one of the musician's virtues. The other two are stealing and lying!
The only thing that gets copy and pasted is the fact that your on earth in every game...
Had we been discussing the older titles then I'd agree, but if you look at CK2 and HoI4 then you can see each title starts branching out of the "same" interface type they all shared as some point (due to shared engine). So the claim is valid on the surface, but only partially - as I've said, later titles prove this claim wrong - and it falls flat when we compare what each title is supposed to deliver. In fact, save for EU series, I think all the other games are branching out well enough to not consider them being "all the same", despite similarities.

This is pretty much the exact thing that happened with me. A legacy from my dark days of Total War is a desire, however unrealistic, to see Medieval 2 Total War's battles married with CK2's everything else.
Obviously the newer games are quite different, and have a lot of upgrades. But to play devil's advocate, there is a lot of LITERAL copy and pasting. The Hearts of Iron leader files are the biggest example. Localization, events, triggers, that sort of thing also.
EU 4 and CK2 are vastly different games, considering one is heavily focused on managing intrigue and family within your realm and the other is more focused on trade and empire. However, the Hearts of Iron series hasn't really changed significantly in my opinion if you look at HOI 2, AOD, or even HOI 3. No point in purchasing essentially the same game with upgraded graphics and slight tweaks here and there, which I would imagine is what we will get with HOI 4. Perhaps Paradox will mix up the HOI series after they have rehashed WWII several more times, or it will be a rinse and repeat of WWII again and again.
You're not watching a lot of information - DDs, press articles - about HoI4, are you? HoI4 appears to go into the same vein of being vastly different, just like CK2.
You should have seen the old ones.
Was it... The first Heats of Iron, I think, that included EU2 icons and sounds in it's install folders?
Still, they're not any more "the same" as any other 2 games of the same genre built on the same engine.
The maps and interface are somewhat similar, and the game's files have a similar base format.
I think that's pretty much it.
Modding the old games was a lot of fun, you were suddenly left wondering why there were EU2 files in your HoI folder until you realized they were there from the beginning :laugh:

Nothing that I would consider a great leap from HOI 2, 3, or even AOD.
