I know Paradox are far from the only ones who do so (plus I realize they specifically do it to placate the fanboys), but man do I hate it when a person or company announces that they'll be making an announcement. It's like the whole "trailer for the trailer" nonsense we've seen crop up in the past few years.
At least this does strongly suggest that Vicky 3 is indeed releasing by year's end, though.
I'm sure they'll announce shortly after you publish Tuesday Newsday.
Just like the update for DW2. Right on schedule!
