Curious as the reasoning to fraction the install base across multiple stores and versions? And not just use 1 store or 100% steam?
Once paradox fully converted to steam their games niche nevertheless soared to top 15-20 games on steam.
Which gave them that much more ranking and recommendations on steam further increasing sales.
It would also help convert all of the mods to steam workshop as that has basically been dead the last 2 years.
OOTP wouldnt be that much different than s game like cities skylines which has huge number of assets created by fans but all on the workshop.
XX would have been a good edition to switch entirely over to steam. I remember the paradox forum was in uproar once they did away with installers then once they left GOG. But in the end them, the game's, and the user base was much better off.
I only use paradox as an example because their games are niche and went through the same thing.
Not sure if their is some official story or reasoning to not go 100% steam
