>Be Paradox a company already shat on for it's dlc practices

>take 2 years to do the 2 flavor packs and 1 expansion in your deluxe edition
>none of the flavor packs and expansion were worth the price
>modders shit out higher quality stuff faster and for free
>decide to come back from your swedish summer break and immediately double the price of shit.
Name a more moronic company.

They're doing this shit to push their subscription service, aren't they?
Yes, which they only ever created because of infamously high levels of piracy of their DLC
Greediest fricking company ever. People should never buy their DLC's.
Ahahahaha. People still buy their shit?
>tricking people into buying some shit they didn’t want with an anti-sale
What will the Merchant of Stockholm think of next?
Why all swedish video game companies do this shit?
Stellaris only had one 20$ DLC that came close to being worth the price (as far as DLCs go, because you can just buy a good game with that money) and it was Utopia, but then Utopia's main mechanic of the tradition system was so good they decided to add it to the base game and now the DLC is just as worth as other 20$ DLCs, which is not at all.
at this rate they're gonna start losing players to microsoft excel in no time.
i remember when you could run flight simulator through a series of inputs in excel
>altering the price to reflect the overall value of this kind of content
should've made it free then
This cant be real
It is and its not surprising, Paradox is a publicly traded company after all.
remember, its always ethical to pirate paradox's DLC
>even the shlls on the plaza are mad
funny, but they'll still buy the next DLC regardless
>4 hearts and 1 checkmark
who are they?
iu dont like defending paradox, but $12 twice a year is not asking a whole lot. wait for a sale or pirate it if you have a problem with the pricing
no
if you're pirating the game and dlcs already i dont get why you'd even care about a $4 price increase.
When you grow up and have to work instead of spending daddy's money, you'll understand.
ok I'll pay but only if they pay me $12 for every dumb update that affects the game in a way i dont like. that's fair right?
don't care, still pirating.
>be me
>played paradox games since EU2
>total spend on paradox games: $0.00
>Can't react
*anymore
I happened to see this post like 30 minutes after the fact and it had 25 disagrees and 10 laughing emojis
Just pirate the game with all dlc in 5 minutes like people have done with eu4 for a decade.
Daily reminder to always use CreamAPI on paradox games and never pay for their microtransactions.
The funniest part of the DLC/flavor packs is that even on their release they aren't finished, they have to spend another month adding content to them that should have been there at dlc/favor launch. Needed a month to add israelite events to Iberia and Mozarabs are still buggy.
It's crazy how they frick up developing games that are 80% made in notepad++.
the ck2 -> eu converter has been broken for like 10 years
You Black folk memed me into playing ck2. I don't give a shit that your gay incest sim costs more now
if you dont pirate paradox games, you deserve to be treated like a moron just like this. literally anyone with two eyes and some brain cells would, for example, go
>see hearts of iron 4 on steam
>ok, looks cool
>oh it costs extra money to use spearhead orders
>oh it costs extra money to stop your ships from going in a certain region
>oh it costs extra money to update the supply mechanic
>oh it costs extra money to convert equipment
>oh it costs extra money to embargo nations
>lol frick this
the worst part is that this trail mix approach to developing games makes sure that the end result doesn't feel cohesive. stellaris legitimately feels like a shitty community mod pack.
It's Paradox, you know they are israelites.
The worst devs now are sw*dish
>DICE
>Mojang
>Paradox
Pootin pls nuke
THQ Nordic sucks balls too
I don't know why I thought they were Swedish apparently their Austrian lol
Nordic are fine, they don't overcharge and generally stick to their AA space.
