Ah yes ripping off people with incomplete games that have dozens of DLCs.
I loved how they did it with surviving Mars.
The games was excellent and each DLC actually added something new.
That I can get onboard with
They do the same with all games that I have from them. Crusader Kings, Stellaris, etc. The base game is always great on its own, then you have very cheap cosmetic DLC and more expensive content DLCs which add new mechanics and expand the game (they also always release a free update for everyone who owns the base game when a new DLC gets released. Oh, and all of their games are moldable, which means you could just implement the cosmetics (and even lots of the other parts of the DLCs via mods).
Paradox gets shit for their DLC model by people who either don't play their games, or by people who are so obsessed by them that they think you NEED a given DLC to play it (just because they know of a strategy with it).
