Hart was made in order to cash-in with the (then, and still ongoing) trend of 'mutts wanting heckin' public transportation and walkable cities just like in Europe (specifically, only Amsterdam). It makes sense when you think about it since the time Hart was being developed and was finally released roughly coincided with the rise of channels such as famous ukronazi simp Adam Something and also subreddits like r/FuckCars.
Literally all that Hart is known for his better public transportation for 'muttistan. Like wow that's cool and all, but how is interesting in a Nazi-Imperial Japanese-American Cold War?
TNO at its current state is literally just a "fandom" at this point. Just a "fandom", as I put in quotation marks because half the people don't even play the mod and just skim the TV Tropes page because its by far the most detailed one out of all the HOI4 mod tropes pages and the few that still actually play the mod, will blindly praise the shitty content that they do get in order to pledge their allegiance to the current TNO devs because saying anything otherwise just means you get kicked out of the "fandom". It's a really big bargaining chip since a lot of these nu-TNO fans basically have no lives and all of their e-friends are part of the TNO 'fandom' (aka just the Discord), so they'll never want to disrespect the current developers or else 90% of their e-friends are gone.
And in general, TNO "fans" don't actually care about TNO as a video game or piece of alternate history work, it's just a community at this point for trannies to politisperg under the auspicious of the former two (video game & alternate history).
Why else do they want to make everything more realistic and more like OTL. It's because they can hide behind the current TNO fandom to sperg about their gay politics. Hence why TNO surprise surprise has a shit ton of bias that goes beyond the obvious "Nazis are bad" (yeah no shit).
They keep saying they are reworking shit over and over again as an empty threat to 'filter' out new people from coming since they want to keep their gay little fandom pure and controlled. Every time a TrooNO dev says they are gonna rework a nation, they use that as a way to count people who are 'no longer loyal' to the fandom and thus kick them out.
Call me a schizo, but they will never actually release those long awaited reworks or updates for major superpowers (USA, GER, JPN) or even great powers like (ITA, IBR, FRA). It's all just to filter out their fandom. They'll make an update with like two years of content for some Latinx country no one cares about with boring elections and ideologies but that's to keep the illusion of the mod being alive. The mod is effectively dead and they prefer to keep it as a "fandom".
It's like that one story of a crackhead mom keeping her brain-dead son "alive" (aka he's literally just a corpse that happens to have a beating heart) so she can still cash in on his disability checks and crowdfunding pity money.
edit: I think I referenced the Archie Battersbee case.
It is as much as a fandom as the Yandere Simulator fandom is where its split between detractors of Alex and underaged TikTok girls getting groomed by Alex. No one actually cares about the core game itself at thus point.
It's why in retrospect; I used to think this thread should be in the Games subforum, but it really does fit the Community subforum instead because there's barely any 'game' to play!
