Third class citizens.
Honestly I'm surprised the game is even out on consoles. Binds ressources that could be better used elsewhere in my opinion.

True. I learned my lesson on consoles. That being said, they made their bed and now they need to lie in it.

Also a good point.

Does this mean the Paradox launcher is updated too?

Seriously considering uninstalling the Paradox Launcher and reinstalling through steam, but I really don't want that hassle.

Thanks for the update, Paradox/Haiemont

At the risk of starting something...It's pretty clear that all customers are treated as untermensch as opposed to "Master Race" as stated above. This has nothing to do with the centuries old debate PC vs. Console, that's just a convenient distraction from the real problem, being that none of these issues, PC or Console-wise, showed during the "Extensive Testing" period. It's more likely all of these issues appeared during the "Extensive Testing" period but the release date was set and, well, both PC users and Console users are subservient dogs and they'll let us know which of the known bugs are of highest priority. Starting with item one...nobody in testing noticed "Huge" pieces of interface missing? Why troubleshoot thousands of lines of code when the PC Master Race is prepared to do it, not for free, but using a retail copy of the software. I know everybody knows this, but I think it's interesting that I had this same discussion in the mid 80's regarding Windows Version 2. It was more fun to discuss then because it was always face to face and if you didn't like the response, you could actually punch an actual face. None of this false bravado stabbing from behind the protection of a router. Gleefully deleting Paradox account...SYIH. Cheers.

well as long as there is no mod support in the patchnotes, it won't get either an agree nor a helpful.

I realize that fixing bugs and planning/creating additional content are the first concern, but I have a question, if I may.
Regarding modding, would it be possible to (officially) add support for the console to the consumer release?
This would greatly help in debugging mods.

I'm loving the game so far, and while there are some issues, I'm quite impressed with what has been done thus far.
Looking forward to what comes next.
