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. Just look at every one of their games’ list of DLCs.
The Paradox publisher sale is currently on Steam. 90% off so you can pay a measly €125 for the complete Stellaris pack now.
Bought most dlc on release, been playing since beta 🤷 next one got me so hyped too 🫣

It makes the game feel incomplete when you see DLC lists like that.
