It being free also makes it a good entry point for Paradox strategy titles. Even though Crusader Kings III is out now, the classic Crusader Kings II is tried and tested with multiple thousands of people still playing it regularly.
Paradox Interactive are branching out with revenue models and they're now doing a subscription for Crusader Kings II, which itself is free to play.
