The haggling is strong with this one isn't it Calvin?

You can post useless one-liners all you want but the fact is that having 10 different DLCs on release day is simply off-putting. And yes it feels like nickel and diming from Paradox.

I remember when Mass Effect 3 From Ashes was released the same day as the main game and the outrage it caused. In this case we have just a few minor details in separate DLCs. But I think they have already crossed the Rubicon. Today these minor DLCs are unit sprites. What about tomorrow?So Paradox is going to be having some Day 1 DLCs. They've previously explained that the graphic artists have nothing to do while the rest of the team is hard at work, so they create unit packs and such to bankroll the awesome, free patches we get. That's great. I'm totally fine with that, and you should be too - creating graphics is a whole lot of work, after all!
Thing is, though - I can't help but notice that with the Day 1 Star and Crescent DLC, they're including events - stuff that takes a half hour at most to whip up, and has no reason not to be included in the main game. Am I the only one that feels a bit cheated by this?
What if you had to buy DLCs to play as Muslims or Republics or Pagans?I remember when Mass Effect 3 From Ashes was released the same day as the main game and the outrage it caused.

I haven't bought Norse faces (mostly out of irritation with Norse, Norse everywhere) and only got Russian units when I could get them for fifty cents because I don't play anyone it applies to, but I got faces since I still marry into there, so, who knows? More importantly, I've only ever bought the music packs for places I actually play - I got the Muslim pack and Byzantine music pack on day 1, but never purchased Albion, Holy Land, or the (sigh) Norse.
I do agree it'd be nice to be able to buy them all in a bundle, just for simplicity's sake. It's a dizzying amount of DLCs for new players, I think.

It's called a "season pass" and usually does this to some extend (often only for major DLC though, so a typical CK2 season pack probably wouldn't include sprite- and music packs, but Muslims, Republics, Pagans etc.)It'd be cool having something like "Always Complete Version" of the game that costs twice as much and includes all future DLCs on release, and maybe additional possibility to buy "All future DLCs" if you already have the game.
My lord. Some of these posts are just plain disheartening. These responses telling people that PI doesn't need their business or that those who disagree are "entitled brats" show no insight into the actual complaints being discussed. If you disagree, that's fine, but don't act like a child. Explain yourself reasonably. We're all fans and customers here. Everyone has a right to express their opinion on the matter.
B-b-but buns!It's just pathetic how all of you accept such bullshit.
Day 1 dlc is ALWAYS cut content and should be included in the release game.

I don't want Norse or Russian portraits/music/models, so if it makes "The Old Gods" cheaper, then it's better this way for me.What I am confused about is why when a major DLC pack comes out the extra bits aren't included. Example being 'The Old Gods', surely one would have thought buying a Pagan DLC pack would include relevant character portraits, sprites & music? Or am I being ignorant and missing something? Genuinely asking as I don't know either way.
