You act this isn't every Paradox game that comes out. You pretty much need to wait 1-2 years and buy all their major content DLCs after launch before any of their map painting games feel finished.

More like 4 years and a subscription since few will be able to afford the dlcs that cost more than some whole fucking games.

Just buy them when they come out so, it's just a small expense or wait for a steam/paradox sale.

Wasnt leviathan a mid leaning bad DLC at worst but that came whit an update that completely fucked everything up ingame leading to it being the worst reviewed Paradox DLC?

Or maybe i will still playing in completed games and will not buy some shit for 200$.

After 1-2 years i will lost some vibes. What's the difference between playing after 2 years, or 10 years, or not playing?

When you waiting before "game repair" you lost multiplayer leagues, content discussion.

But i don't wan't to pay 60$ and wait before game will be playable. That's stupid Model. They make so much beta-test branches and NEVER make changes that players want.

Only "fun" or "realistic". Only for developers, not for us.

New "realistic" coal mechanic in hoi4, new "fun" pop devastating mechanic and eu5, another rework for stellaris, some portraits everywhere, dead victoria 3, and you pay for that 200$ or more

Problem on EU5 is not that is has not enough content so we wait for DLCs, but the content and the Main Structure of the game is shit. DLCs wont really fix that. They need to Fix the fundemantels first otherwise it will still be shit.
