“It's like Uber, but for nurses.” Does that scare you? It should. Private hospitals are increasingly teaming up with Silicon Valley to make American health care even more exploitative.
Well the way Paradox deploys DLC is kinda bullshit. If you're not onboard from Day 1, you could easily blink and realize that if you want to play the most up-to-date version of the game you need to pay a hundred dollars or more for the privilege despite the fact that you bought it at full price when it came out. Then there's the fact that ongoing development and patching of a game takes for granted DLC ownership, so it's not unheard of for them to completely fuck game balance for people playing without the most recent one. Then there's the modding community which is perpetually split between updating for patches and updating for DLC and maintaining versions that work both with and without it... it sucks.
They should use the MMO model of making everything except the most recent expansion part of the base experience, but then they would lose out of NEET bucks by not inflicting FOMO on the playerbase every couple months.
