It is really the fault of Steam.
Kids these days look over Hearts of Iron 4 (which has broken AI allowing a 5 year old to win - am not exaggerating) and think that Paradox games are "hardcore strategy". The genre of REAL thinking games, especially war games, is virtually unknown to them. They only know the Paradox games, which USED to be lighter fare strategy games, but with each new game they are dumbing those down more and more so that more people play them. HOI3 is superb (when playing Germany world conquest - naval combat is.... a joke) and is a real time strategy game, in all meanings of these (three) words.
Seeing something like WITPAE is beyond a shock.
For the record, I NEVER read a manual. I experiment, read people's guides, read AAR's, experiment some more. But reading a manual - even a single sentence - is against my religion [:D]
PS
Mindset of this new mainstream generation. I am playing Motorsport Manager, which after adding a new (weight stripping) mechanic and a patch (which fixed the AI which made mistakes on their decisions during a race) became much harder.
"GREAT!" I thought, "This is a worthy game which should challenge me for a while!".
"This sucks," wrote the kids on the Steam forum, "the game became much harder, I used to win all the time, fix it!"
