I don't even think it was that. The player base wanted it. I distinctly remember posts on this very forum and Reddit complaining about how hard it was to revive Hellenism. The devs caved to the demands of the players. I'm not saying it was a majority, but the uproar was loud enough to where I understand why they added it.For the Hellenism, I do wonder if that was a matter of one dev thinking it was a bad idea in CK2, but then leaving the team and being replaced by someone who didn't think it was a bad idea. (For the record, I agree that it was a bad idea.)
For the record, I also agree it was a bad idea and hate how every other post on Reddit is someone showing off their Hellenist Roman empire.
