      DLC when it should have been in the game day 1 (10 years ago)

      Paradox is basically European Nintendo.

          The Paradox publisher sale is currently on Steam. 90% off so you can pay a measly €125 for the complete Stellaris pack now.

          Oh yeah I remember when I’d only played Victoria II (Which I’d pirated anyway) and thought hey this is a really great game development company and acquired a legal copy of Stellaris when it was on sale and my coworkers were like… A Paradox game? You rich? And… Then I watched all the new DLCs for Stellaris roll in over the years. I bought maybe 3 or 4 of them on sale and tbf I think I have like 150 hours in it so it’s not too bad, but honestly I don’t think I’ll ever buy another Paradox game.

          They now have a subscription option and season packs… Eugh

            Many of them are just basically mods that add a new unit or some bullshit. What annoys me in lists like that is not knowing at a glance which ones add new mechanics and features and which are just minor little things like tue aforementioned units.

          Paradox’s whole thing is releasing as many DLCs for a title as they possibly can

          Across the Obelisk player here, can confirm.

        Just to clarify, I was just making a joke of it being a paradox game. It’s also the reason I actively avoid all paradox games even if it is good.

          Its ok the modding scene took care of all those issues. In a mod that released 12 updates ago, is now completely broken, and will never be updated again.

          It’s not even that hard of a change. Multiply by speed limit and traffic for each section then done.
