Return to the remote island nation of Tropico in the next installment of the critically acclaimed and hugely popular ‘dictator sim’ series. Expand your Dynasty’s reign from the early colonial period to beyond the 21st Century.
I think their business model for these giveaways is that they make more overall from people buying DLC/expansions. However, if the base game sucks, I’m too wizened to be fooled into thinking a glorified mod will save it.
my take on the business model is they want to take a market share so they are trying to make you have a library in their platform so maybe you don't feel so bad about buying something because you have a lot of games in there because a lot of attachment to steam is kinda of sunken cost like i have so many games in there that i will always install it and i feel like that is what they are trying to achieve and they have a lot of money to throw at this
yeah, like, microsoft has also been trying to use the game pass on pc to push their awful gaming store and people hated origin and uplay because you had to instal a new thing for no reason, like no advantage to you whatsoever, so the approach now seems to be give them a good a reason like the game pass is a good deal like on a sheer ammount games for your buck so people might want to use it and then they can try to push their store, like steam has a really strong position still so it is hard to start a new store and try to compete
