After watching the release trailers for Third Rome, I realized something. I then watched the release trailer for Death or Dishonor, and I saw it there. I saw other DLC release trailers for EU4, HOI4, Stellaris, and others, and I kept seeing it. I kept seeing that specific pattern.

When Paradox makes these trailers, do they just pull out a template, insert the dlc into it, then done?

The Template a DLC Release Trailer:
1. Oh, look at the situation
2. Find a way to insert the name of the DLC into a sentence that seems forced at times
3. You can do this. You can also do that. That is something that can be done. And this is something that can be done, and keep repeating till you get all the things in the DLC fit in. Make it forced into the trailer.
4. What will you do in [DLC Title Here]? (force the name if it had not happened in Step 2)
5. List the things you can do in the DLC

Seriously, it's getting a bit boring.

If they are gonna do more trailers, I hope the release trailers will be like the Wealth of Nations DLC or the EU4 release trailer, instead of yet another spoonfeed trailer. It's been years since they have started doing this, and it is getting dull and boring.

Anyone else noticed this?
