Every time Paradox has a sale, I click on the Paradox Store to see if there is anything I want to buy. Nearly every time, I wind up frustrated and leave without buying anything. My major complaints are:
TL;DR: If you'd like me to use the Paradox Store, please improve the UI.
- The tile interface. It winds up being a jumbled mess because the primary information on them is text rather than graphical, especially long text like "Europa Universalis IV: Rule Brittania" or "Hearts of Iron IV: Waking the Tiger". It becomes even worse with items like "Europa Universalis IV: Rule Brittania", where the text itself has too little contrast with the background making it hard to read.
- When I wind up on the "On Sale" landing page, I see no obvious way to get to "On Sale" with a filter, such as to DLC for a particular game I care about.
- There is no way to filter out (or even graphically indicate) the items I already own. To see why this is insanity, look at CK2 or EU4 (with 30+ DLC each on Steam); I own roughly half of the DLC for each and have no interest in trying to keep in my head which they are while browsing the Paradox Store.
- The Watchlist is not obvious when looking at a game page (it's a small grey circle with a plus next to the purchase/pre-order button), and it is the only feature that helps to mitigate the above problems by letting me look at only the items I actually care about.
TL;DR: If you'd like me to use the Paradox Store, please improve the UI.
