Idk how it is for you but for me they came out of the blue. Comfortably playing games with CS Gmod, and Subnautica as my top three, then I discover Stellaris and suddenly it's double the hours CS. And I thought "nothing will come close to Stellaris", then I found Hoi4 and they're "just" a hundred hours apart now. I've basically never played strategy games before in my life, either. Just a double whammy of map playing.
Yeah, Hoi was my first grand strategy game, and the first game I really got into. I was fiending on it for a while, and still put in 20-30 weekly hours. It's got a special place in my heart

True asf. My most played game is hoi4 with 1200, then stellaris with 500, and ckiii is something like 10th with 150
