Just because a DLC does a good job of expanding gameplay doesn’t mean the base game is incomplete, it means they did a good job on the DLC. The fun part is the Venn of people who make this argument and people who bitch about content packs are damn near a circle.
Games are fucking expensive to make and they’ve gotten to slightly bump the price once in like 15-20 years. Paradox makes good games for niche audiences, then builds easier to produce solid DLC and content for those niche games to sustain a profit to keep the studio afloat. Sure there are companies bad about nickel and diming shit, but PDX ain’t it.
Never once felt that way about a Paradox game.
