    Any chance of Paradox's classic titles becoming free to play?

    Basically is there any chance that paradox will release EU1 and EU2 as free to play anytime soon? I'd like to see what they are like but on gamers gate the mac version of EU2 costs almost as much as EU chronicles so for me, it's just not worth it. I doubt they're still making that much money off of those games. Maybe you could include them free with EU chronicles?

    I know that at least one of Paradox's games is on Void (gamersgate), which is a free to play ad-based service. I don't know which ones though, since it isn't active yet for my country.

    The Mac versions of all PI games (except CK2) are written and sold by Virtual Programming , not Paradox. So no, Paradox will never make Mac EU2 free since it's not their game.

Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. Bertrand Russell

    If void works with the MAC version then try it there. I have used void myself to test it and it works great. It would almost be better if they changed up the ad video, that plays before the game, but that would be more intrusive and GG is all about being less intrusive than other services so that works I guess.
    I have been dealt a good hand in life, now I am just looking for a few more cards!
