Devs Share Some Interesing Numbers From Crusaders Kings 3

Paradox Interactive shared stats on Crusader Kings 3. We already know not only the number of hours spent in the game by all the players, but also much weirder data, including modern cannibalistic tendencies of PC gamers.

In the Middle Ages it was somehow easier to be ruthless.

A lot has happened today around Paradox's latest strategy game Crusader Kings 3. The company not only released a huge update (more about which you can read here), but also shared some interesting numbers collected throughout September. We have chosen the most striking ones.

25 million hours have already been spent in the world of Crusader Kings III. Over 40 million digital children were born during this time. So, more than twice as many people appeared on the world than left it, at least due to homicide, because 18 million assassinations were successfully carried out.

Players also enjoy holy wars, and they have unleashed almost 1.5 million of them. Roughly the same number of prisoners were subject to an act of cannibalism. Only 141,000 lucky prisoners ones managed to escape from dungeons. These proportions are somewhat frightening, but not exactly surprisin. And, almost forgot about this one, the Roman Empire has been re-established 30 thousand times. If you want to add your two cents before the next statistic are compiled, then buy the game. As a reminder, it is available exclusively on PCs.

His adventure with journalism began with a personal blog, the name of which is no longer worth quoting. Then he interpreted Iranian dramas and the Joker, writing for cinematography journal, which, sadly, no longer exists. His writing credentials include a degree in film studies, but his thesis was strictly devoted to video games. He has been writing for Gamepressure since March 2020, first writing a lot about movies, then in the newsroom, and eventually, he became a specialist in everything. He currently edits and writes articles and features. A long-time enthusiast of the most bizarre indie games and arthouse cinema. He idolizes surrealism and postmodernism. He appreciates the power of absurdity. Which is probably why he also tried soccer refereeing for 2 years (with so-so results). He tends to over-philosophize, so watch out.
