The joke is the running gag that adepts of paradox's Victoria 2 are always expecting an announcement for Victoria 3 every year. But Paradox trolls them then announce a boring game in place of Victoria 3.

Here we can see Bruno Ganz portraying the Victoria 2 fanatic as a ranting and delusional madman, but also as a fatherly figure suffering from Parkinson’s disease. Scenes of him ranting furiously at his staff spawned a wave of internet parodies and memes.
Immersing himself in that role affected the actor, who later admitted he had been haunted by his portrayal for a very long time.
“I tend to identify with my roles to such an extent that I appear to be totally convinced about certain statements that, in real life, I would never believe in,” Ganz said.
