I didnt see the thread the other day, but the context for eu4 paradox devs being upset about the negativity surrounding leviathan is that th expansion was clearly released unfinished (look at the reddit eu4 thread about it) which was especially egregious considering they just spun up a seperate solo team just for eu4 development. I dont really blame the devs for the state of the dlc, it seems to be coming from senior PDX to ship before adequate quality control (they just did an IPO this year or last right? The profit drive is pretty strong lately there).
I dont use the paradox forums either so I cant speak to their hostility but I cant say HoI4 players being toxic would surprise me. Individual devs probably shouldnt be trawling forums for feedback, a community manager or team should be taking that and filtering it into less hostile language.
