A real transition will happen in bursts. I'd love to see stats by interest categories, because I suspect what happens is enough prominent people in some community move at to bring the rest with them, but until that happens there's no budge.
Oh,my info is old then! Exciting
Colossal Order is the dev, Paradox is just the publisher. Paradox deserves crap for their many mistakes, but this one isn't theirs.
I just bought Fallout 4 GOTY for $5 the other day. Look forward to doing the same in a few years when Cyberpunk 2077 has a final release with everything fixed and polished. There's so many good old games, why buy anything brand new.
And this doesn't forgive devs for buggy initial releases either, because I'm not throwing money at something until it's actually done.
For CK and Vic they changed their design philosophy to be more "sandbox with realistic parameters" vs older games' "sandbox with prescripted events" to make historical events happen. It's an ambitious idea but so far the results have been pretty mixed. I'm hopefully they get it right eventually. Stellaris has really only gotten to be as polished as it very recently.
Paradox is just the publisher on this one, Colossal Order is the dev.
The main issue nowadays is anticheat. If you play esports (league of legends,apex legend, fortnite), you will have trouble. Pretty much everything else will be good to go.

No experience with Magic Earth but I've used Organic Maps a lot when trying to use Google less. The offline maps are great, I can get a route quickly when I don't have internet (like on a roadtrip), this has really helped in a few pinches. The navigation is usually fine, but it doesn't know a lot of private addresses in my city. The dataset is always improving but clearly behind Google.
The obscure and unassuming the specialty store is, the more incomprehensibly low their prices are
