Paradox Interactive has released its report for the first quarter of 2024 ended March 31. The publisher posted stable financial results, also admitting that the quality of its games should be more consistent.
I hate myself for buying my last two Paradox DLC at full price. I even enjoyed them, I just hate what it says about that company’s control over my dopamine.
Yep. Fell for it a bunch of times, lastest of which was Victoria 3. Never again. A pirate’s life is the life for me when it comes to strategy games. Non-indie ones at least. Besides against the storm, I can’t remember the last time I played a strategy game and it felt like a complete game.
I don’t understand the complaints about the expansions for these games. Ok, there’s a lot of them? But they’re generally good. And if you don’t want them, just…stop updating and stay on whatever version you liked?
And unlike most, they make it easy to play an older version. Did I like a particular patch better and hate all that’s come since then? Easy to roll back to it. What do people want…for them to not put out expansions?
Paradox has gamers by the nuts with forever DLC for Stellaris, Hoi4, and CK3 and we don’t like it…
Or do we?
I don’t get people who are silly enough to pay full price for these single player dlc-chocked games when there are perfectly free, uh, copies online.
I believe in giving all my money to the Swedes, as my ancestors before me.
At least these Swedes are nice enough to ask first.
Sigh

The DLC will continue until morale improves.
