CKII vs EU4 development cycle - speculation time

[Keizer Harm]

I wasn't around when LoR was released, so I don't know if there was any upstir about it, but if they were accurately priced who would mind seeing another one of that? But what Paradox needs to stop doing is bundling functional DLC together with graphical DLC. I could only buy CK2 DLC one at a time, and I went for function first and flavour second.

At first, we had separate expansions, unit models, portrait and music packs.
Some people complained, since the DLC list was getting really big. And yes, it was getting silly.
Then someone at Paradox came up with an idea to bundle up cosmetic packs into one DLC.
Which was great, in my opinion. If you simply want the gameplay content, and not the extra stuff, you had that option.
Naturally, Paradox wants to sell as much content as possible. They know that people will certainly buy the main content, whatever the price, so they glue-on the extra stuff.
And now we have "full" expansions which cost 10-15 dollars, where the actual gameplay content is worth around $7.

That's how it originally was. But lots of people complained about it and now they are all merged together. That's what vocal complainers and too few people counter-complaining can do.

The big question is are we going to see CK3 in this lifetime?

i'm hoping the next DLC will be one big last Hurrah for CK2.

Paradox' biggest problem with both games will likely be accretion and we have to see, how they'll manage that. It could lead to a lot or disappointed fans.

To be fair steam isn't really designed to work with many DLC, it would go a long way to sort these in the store page in sub-categories.

Calling it now, crafting update because everyone tried crowbaring crafting into games so they don't want us to feel left out with CK2, next update after this is probably the farming update and then the lootcrate battle royale moba VR update.
Personally i can't wait for powerglove support.

I mean .. It was pretty difficult to get powergloves for testing, but I think it will be worth it. I guess you could say it feels like you get a better grip of how the game plays out, and that it is a bit more of a hands on experience.

As I understand the tester above plays a one handed character trying to escape from the prison?
