Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, Stellaris and other Paradox games are infamous for having stacks of paid DLC, and execs know this can be "off-putting".
I’d consider buying 1 dlc pack for Stellaris but atm I just played the base game on GamePass to learn the basics. I think the other user in this thread had a point about the industry needing to make money constantly and not just make money upon release. I’m glad that paradox supports their games unlike other companies that make dreadful console ports to xbox and never update anything, even when the tools and advice exists from microsoft.
What I dislike more than paradox is these companies that publish a game and abandon it after a few months. They could at least update the graphics for Series S/X consoles but no, games like Aliens: Dark Descent and Batman are left with blurry 2012 graphics because the companies don’t care. Even worse is the games with freezing or crashing bugs.
Sure paradox charge a lot of money for dlc and they keep pumping it out but the same could be said for age of empires 2 and 4. If the game is worth it for you then you’ll buy a major dlc bundle and spend all your time in the game you like most.
Stop buying paradox products, stellaris certainly taught me that lesson
We can only vote with our wallets but people rather drool mindlessly in front of games they’re just addicted to and barely like
