Why were they able to back to back release EU4, Stellaris, and HOI4, back to back to back, between 2013-2016? Each of these is a juggernaut in the genre, and the industry, making them millions.

But it seems that since then, there have been a series of flubs and generally muted reception, with IMP,CK3 and Vic3(Which I absolutely love for the economic sim) receiving middling reviews.

Putting PDX dev studio releases onto a chart to try to extract some insight, and it looks like the highest DLC release year was 2024, with 10, followed by 2018, with 9.
