Space 4X sim Stellaris is to receive its next major overhaul in May this year, with changes to the pacing, presentation and systems affecting performance.
That’s kind of how I feel about EU4. I started w/ whatever the basic bundle was (base game + 2-3 DLC), and it was a ton of fun. Then when it got boring and I wanted more, I bought a couple more DLC when it was on sale. Rinse and repeat and now I have all of the DLC.
That’s how DLC should be. With Paradox games, you’re not paying for some stupid cosmetics, you are funding continued development to add fun new features to the game. Even if you don’t buy the DLC, you still get some nifty features in the free update.
So yeah, I think they do a good job w/ their DLC policy. Though I do wish they’d make older DLC free or incredibly cheap.
