Before the sale they increased the price of a shitton of their games, even ones released 7 years ago.
The price affected almost everyone but the US, being between 10% in Europe to 100% in Russia and China.

Their official statement for increasing the price was the increase of purchasing power in said countries and that they frequently do an analysis to see if they should increase the prices.

They were respectfully disagreed with on the forums by a lot of people and since then they went silent.

Hi, glad you love our games!
Don't forget to link your steam account to your paradoxplaza's one! Hope you didn't forget to buy our latest DLC (20$ only!!!) featuring a bug fix for the bugs introduced by our latest free patch™ and a new model for a nation you'll actually never encounter.

Also, a friendly reminder to not use "kebab" as a slur. It's very offensive and a bannable offense.

Don't forget the province improvement meme that the common sense dlc created.
Anyone who doesn't own common sense is now fucked since there's no way to improve your province outside of the dlc. So now all the countries outside of western europe have garbage development and they can't do anything about it.

>>381102984
The "free patch" which came with the Rights of Man DLC introduced the "Institutions" system. It requires the Common Sense DLC, if you don't own this specific DLC you're fucked. They removed the previous feature (westernisation) which worked without any DLC.
The Mare Nostrum patch removed the previous national ideas from The Knights and the Berber nations and gave them the raiding mechanism...but you need the Mare Nostrum DLC to use this mechanism, without it your new national ideas are unusables.
The Mandate of Heaven patch transformed Ming into a world power from day one until the end of the game. As an exemple, they might now come to the help of fucking Lithuania in 1550. Owning the Mandate of Heaven DLC makes them (only) a little bit less OP.
and that's just a few examples...

>>381103856
If he wasn't so greedy he would be ashamed to mention Art of War.
Save for the 30 years war, a minor feature of the DLC, it's only an UI/bug fix at the cost of 20$
> army creator
Stackwipe is common occurrence late game. How could they not recognize that having to build a 50 units army is a chore without it? Hell, after a big war you're in for over 200 clicks just to queue new armies.
> being able to press the claims of your vassals
The main point of vassals is vassal feeding. The game was super clunky without this feature. If your vassal was between your ennemy and you, you were fucked because you couldn't forge a casus belli.
> Transfer occupation
You ally needs your help, you oblige, you siege the province he desires (he can't do it himself/you rush it for the warscore) and now your ally will drag this war forever because he can't seize the province he desires in the peace deal. After 20 years of war, he will finally white peace and declares again for the exact same province a few years later, calling you again...
People saying that this DLC is good are blind to the jewishness of Paradox.

>>381105306
Cities:Skylines I believe is almost seriously a matter of just modifying a file somewhere to say you own the DLC rather than not. Apparently quite a bit of it is built into the game, just unlocked.

For EU4 and CK2, you can download the DLC, use a modified version of the steam_api.dll pointing to a file that says you have all DLC and you should be able to play it on steam just fine. Online even.

>>381104405
Considering the amount of indie shit on steam I think they are final verdict is still behind Valve, since they are not willing to give too much power to developers they can't trust. Game-specific forums are their own things, it would be to bothersome to moderate each forum with their staff, but public store page is not.

How do you people get dramatic and emotional about "games" where you just click buttons and adjust sliders?

What kind of DLC are these? do they make the pie charts 3D, are those the new "features"?

>>381104696
I own CKII, EU4 and HOI IV, have been milked a ton of DLC and can only recommend you to pirate these games (don't even bother with HOI IV, it's just bad and one year after release the same gamebreaking bugs are still here).
Each DLC is lazier than the former, they usually add something modders have done better for free and break the game. In fact, after a DLC, each one of these games is usually broken for 3 months. Also, your UI will be more and more invaded by icons that you can't use because they are linked to a DLC...but apparently they can't hide those icons if you don't own the DLC.
Finally, the features introduced by the DLC tend to be tedious. Paradox, through the mouth of Johan, even admitted it. They admitted that the Estates from the Cossacks DLC are tedious and yet they charge 20$ for it. They also admitted that the "Random New World" from Conquest of Paradise is broken (2 or 3 years after release) and yet they still charge 20$ for it.

>>381106142
Grand Strategy is a genre for intellectuals, clearly you simply don't have what it takes to understand the genius of it. Perhaps console gaming would be more to your liking.

Anyways I just tried the mandate of heaven dlc, and holy shit is it broken. Before the dlc china was everyone's bitch. After the dlc it's the number 1 nation from the beginning all the way to the end. This fucked up my russia playthrough so hard.

>>381106142
To be honest, people were super pissed when Paradox said that they introduced the "corruption" mechanism in EUIV and it turned out to be only a slider.

>>381100347
>CK2 DLC

Fucking hell.

>>381107553
Adding a special pool of manpower for ships, 3 years after the release of the base game, shows of much they don't double think their modificaitons.
Hell, they didn't even see when Mare Nostrum was released that a landlocked nation, thanks to autonomy, would need something like 70 fucking years after conquering an access to the sea before being able to build one god damn ship.

>>381107385
Don't forget the new "purple" units introduced with the Cossacks and that they now sell as "new" in each fucking DLC.
> Cossacks!
Units you buy with Estate mana.
> Banners !
Units you buy with corruption mana
> Strelzy (? russian ones)!
Units you buy with tsar mana

>>381107869
And now even if they build their ship they won't be able to do shit with it because they had the brilliant idea of adding sailor attrition while countries that have some sea connected provinces will never give a fucking shit.

>>381107553
That was the last drop for me, when I realized Paradox were just retarded Jews throwing shit at the wall to see what it sticks.
Months later, they realize that a feature they developed themselves didn't work at all, and their first idea is to remove it.
Sure they reworked it somewhat, and it sort of does something now, but it's still the second laziest way out, and shows they aren't doing any planning, designing or testing whatsoever.

Don't forget to buy the shitty e-book that's listed as dlc.

>>381100534
The video game industry is exceptional in that their default attitude is to keep digging themselves into a hole. In nearly every other industry the decision makers would be panicking trying to find ways to placate the customers.

>>381108690
Don't forget that one time where they sold an e-book for 5$ when the book was public domain.

>>381109248

>>381109212
>The video game industry is exceptional in that their default attitude is to keep digging themselves into a hole.
The consumers in the video game industry are exceptionally retarded, so Paradox is doing everything right from the business POV. Several butt-blasted nerds won't change shit when retards keep buying their DLCs en masse.

>>381109342
Yep.
When Common Sense came out they also offered the 48 page pamphlet as a DLC for real money and it literally gave you nothing.
At least the other retarded ebook they sold was something original and it gave you a new song and a ingame event, but the Common Sense e-book was literally paying money for something that was already free.

>>381109760
>several
You realize the heavy damage a mostly negative rating does to games?
Combined with 200€ min entry price for the full game.
Paradox is trading quick bucks for their old fanbase since a while now. This is the breaking point.

>>381109910
>This is the breaking point.
This
You have to understand, their forums were the home of the biggest cocksuckers you could see. Those fuckers would pay Paradox for the privilege to shill the game in other places.
And even they are mad now.
They fucked up pretty badly.

Oh also another fucking example of how big of a jew they are.
They used to offer a 75% discount to the games and old DLC
Now besides increasing the price of all their games and DLC they also are only giving a 50% discount.

>>381109760
>>381109910
They probably made enough bank that they'll never care again
But this is the end of the line again. Their fanbase is entirely terminal autists, who built and eternal grudge against them. These games have a very high entry level, and with everyone already in screeching for everyone to stay away, they'll be in a bad spot to get new customers.
They could have gotten away with it all, if they still made good games. But seeing HoI4 and their attitude that actually working on a game is too much work, which the players don't deserve, they aren't going anywhere.

>>381109910
It's not like GTAV, that everyone knows is a good game. Paradox games are much more niche, and much more expensive too.

Feeling generous so more than one :
> suicidal Germany/inability to deal with a two fronts war
Not only does Germany has a tendency to declare on all is neighbours at the same time, but they love to attack France through the Maginot Line only, forgetting about going through the Benelux despite being at war with them. I just watched AI Germany burns 6 millions manpower against AI France, who lost only around 300'000 men.
> AI forgetting about armies once their path has been blocked and letting them eat attrition forever
Again, I just watched 93 spanish regiments sit in the middle of Yugoslavia, eating a ton of attrition. They had the little yellow exclamation point saying that they couldn't get to their destination. I watched them stay there for months before I left the game. They never moved. No ennemies were around, the sea was clear, there were frontlines they could access to by land as well.
> AI unable to defend its coasts
I saw Germany get invaded by fucking Australia in 1941. They never reacted to the naval landing. Rome was seized by the British in february 1940. the war had started mabye 4 months ago.
> (This one is not a bug but a terrible design that really needs to be corrected) sometimes, your troops redeploy through the sea when it's totally unnecessary and suicidal
Example 1 : your troops are pushing through Georgia. Suddenly for some reasons, one unit goes back to Turkey, to a port, and take a ship to redeploy on an another point of the frontline in the mountains of Georgia.
Problem : you don't have naval superiority in the Black Sea and they get killed. Because of how the game works (battleplan) you can't prevent your units from these suicidal moves.
Example 2 : you 're Germany and invade Jutland (the continental part of Danemark). You want to redeploy your troops at your border with the Netherlands. Your units will take a fucking ship and get sunk by the royal navy instead of going by land.

All that happened again with the latest patch.

>>381113034
Considering the fact that in order to make a country capitulate you "just" need to occupy all his victory points, it's quite gamebreaking if the AI forget about defending herself and doesn't react at all when you take them with an inferior force while they have a huge army idling around. It's a game about WW2 where you can make Germany capitulate in 2 weeks with Australia.
Also, the fact that the AI forgets huge armies is gamebreaking. Sure, your ennemy has a huge army...but all the regiments of this army are standing in the same province, eating attriton, and won't move. At this point it's more a walking simulator for your armies than a wargame.
It's one thing to have a bad AI like in EU IV which you can easily trap, it's game breaking to have a braindead AI like in HOI IV.
Plus, in EU IV, if you manage to win a war, most of the time it's not the end of your ennemy, you are just weakening him. In HOI IV, a victory means game over for your ennemy.
