I do play Paradox games and I own most DLCs for Stellaris, I’ve spent way too much on it, and the DLC situation creates a barrier for me to get into the other games. I find it overwhelming and lose interest quickly, when there are plenty of other things I could be doing.
I agree in principle about the cosmetic options but the delivery leaves a lot to be desired
I know, and I dont disagree necessarily but it still turns new players off
I’ve been on both sides. I’ve got most DLCs for Stellaris for example and sunk thousands of hours into it. But I missed the boat on CK2 and can’t be bothered dealing with the similar swathe of DLC ($358.76 at time of writing, for a game released 10 years ago)
I know you can pick and choose DLC but it is something I just can’t be arsed with, when I could just play something else instead.
Currently on steam, the base game (c:s 1) with all DLC is $404.40
It discourages new players a lot
Edit: apparently downvote = disagree, for shame
Lol you’re in denial if you think the C:S2 makers aren’t going to try to cash in on paid DLCs constantly for the next decade
It is a damn shame because it turns me off so many games these days, but I guess it must pay off financially because these companies - mostly sim/strategy games - keep doing it and don’t appear to be going bankrupt…
Lol what
Here unless you are actively suicidal and deemed an imminent risk to yourself you’re put on a waiting list for an appointment which can be several weeks for a psychologist or months for a psychiatrist and then you have to pay for it too

I detest having to go to Discord for documentation about things.
We’ve shown we aren’t capable or governing ourselves long term. We need AI to take over asap.
Bought the kids a copy of Terraria for Switch to continue to support the incredible devs
6th copy I’ve bought total, have gifted it to a few people now
I think that ticks a few sin boxes
Blizzard cashing in on that $100+ to play Diablo 3 while the servers are up and while you have internet access
Did I say they don’t? Jeez. Paradox ain’t some guy in his basement, currently they employ 650 people and they are valued at around US$160-170 million
I even said obviously their strategy of infinite DLCs is working because they’re very successful.
