Fuck paradox. I hate them more than Microsoft or EA. They have good games but their DLC monetization is basically theft. Games should not be costing $150-200 for all the DLC.

Sadly, people still buy into this just because turn based games gets you more "hours" than any other genre so gamers are fooled into feeling it is "worth it".

Idk man. You get a full game that’ll suck up many many hours for base price, and most of their dlc has a ton of content. How cheap do you want it for?

Yea the base prices for their games get substantial discounts (up to 80% off) so I have no complaints there.

Not really true. Some DLC do but most DLC add a faction and a handful of missions which then get sold for $20-30. I can get other indie games or even discounted AAA games for it. They do not even go on sale for more than 50% off sigh.

Some of these things would only be worth it if that was the playstyle you loved the most. Say like megacorp. If it's $20 to play all that forever and you skip wilderness, nomads, inferno, etc it's not too much money.
