Like you need a reminder desu
Yeah but Stellaris is fun. With mods at least.
I pirated it though. Waiting for them to finish it before committing to it.
Thankfully the damage is already done. Fuck Paradox.

Wait, is it actually illegal to do this? It's their product, they get to dictate how much to sell it, right?
can sweeden do anything right?

It's illegal in a lot of places to increase the price and then put it on sale again, pretending you are giving a good discount when you are actually selling it for the base price.
>>381479704
Yeah I doubt this is illegal. Pretty sure other companies have tried this shit in the last sale and I don't remember anyone getting sued or anything.

depends on the country.
>>381479704
In the states at the least it's illegal to increase or inflate the prices of items and then list them on a "sale" claiming they are at a discounted price.

It's illegal in almost every civilized country and would typically be punished by fines.
Note that sellers are bound by laws of whichever country their customers reside in.
Is there a list of prices before and after?

Reminder that you're helping destroy the future of europe with every paid patch disguised as DLC you purchase.
>isthereanydeal shows it being 39.99 for literal years, disregarding the occasional sale
hmmm
really makes you think
doesn't it?
Can't wait till they release Bloodlines 2 with one clan and rest as separate DLC
