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".

    They don’t though? Okay, i haven’t played any of their new stuff (my poison was Stellaris), but the base games have always been decent to play. Their dlc has been getting worse, Stellaris race packs just should not be a thing, but it’s not as bad as some people make it out to be.

        Is there actually a way to get to play the original? We now kind of have Stellaris 2, and Stellaris 1 is some kind of abandonware?! Although officially they are both Stellaris 1, of course.

          We are kind of on stellaris 3.5 I would say. I think the 1.0 build is still available on steam

              Go in properties of the game to the game version tab. But it looks like the oldest is 2.1.3 unfortunately

                Oh, so Stellaris 4 is out already?!

                I’m apparently currently running Stellaris 4.2.3. I didn’t even know it’s not Stellaris 1 anymore!

                It’s… Weird. If they consider there to have been already Stellaris 2 and Stellaris 3, meaning they see it as a different game, then… Why just delete Stellaris 1?
                But also, I do need to try downgrading to 2.1.3 and see how it feels now that I’m used to the ways of Stellaris 4!

                  Good question, maybe it was compatibility issues ? Might be able to find 1.0 somewhere online I’m sure
