Their dlc's have always been overpriced, but there hasn't been one that actually broke the game in years.
Well... Eu4's newest expansion, "Leviathan", has actually broken the game, it is actually unplayable. And the worst part? Even if you don't have the DLC, you're still screwed because the free patch that came with the DLC also breaks the game.
Oh, and also this dlc is 20$.
So please shit on paradox interactive in this thread.
I don't even have a problem with games with a lot of DLC, my problem is that the DLC paradox release are so overpriced and buggy. Most of them are 3,4 or even 5 times as expensive as they should be. The worst part is how some of the dlc has content that really should be in the base game.
and the recent eu4 dlcs were barely tested before launch
Yes, I talked about that in my post, but I really should make it clear for those who don't know. This last dlc for EU4 in particular was so badly tested, that anyone who plays for more than an hour can notice huge bugs, like several game-breaking bugs. That is , of course, if the game doesn't just crash.
The eu4 dlc before that one was also badly tested and buggy, but at least it didn't break the whole game.
I only play HoI4 and Stellaris but I imagine this is the same across all their games, their tendancy to lock significant features behind DLC fucking sucks. I have to pay 20$ just to have an intelligence service in a game about WW2??? Lame as fuck.
