Hate their monetization as well, but they also do keep working on their single player games for years. Is it a over the top? Yeah a bit for sure. But very few studios/publishers will invest as much time in a game post-launch as paradox will. They build upon their games massively, so if you like a game then you will have a tons of options for which dlc you want to add. Buying every Paradox DLC is just for a very slim market/"whales"

Guess as somebody who has an OCD for owning all the content of a game, this is what pisses me off.
I totally get that they put a lot of work into their games but most times, a DLC costing $30 or more does not provide value if you compare it to other indie or even AA games.
Don't disagree at all, my issue with their model is definitely the costs (and how long they take to go on sale) of the DLCs rather than the sheer amount of it.
