I believe somewhere around 80% of all Stellaris games are never completed due to the game exceeding the hardware limitations.

My main experience with Paradox has been with HOI4, and I love getting on forums hearing that it's the "optimized" Paradox game. Ultimately what I have been doing is achievement hunting, and besides, it is very difficult to be the #1 nation if you are not the Soviets or Germans, since so much of the scoring is based on building units and fighting with them. When I play OP USA, I normally finish (if I finish at all), as #3 or #4, despite overbuilding and having massive stocckpiles of stuff because the Soviets end up doing more fighting and the Germans literally commit their whole nation to their own defense. #3 sometimes is the UK because they build about 100,000 Spitfires and burn their manpower out trying to naval invade their entire continent at once.
