Yep it's a steam only game although you can buy a license from other digital outlets.


Hmmm... I see that the steam version is £35 and the Paradox version is £39. Why is that? Sorry, I just have an aversion to paying >£30 for a game. Even the CawaDoodie games I don't buy because of their stupid £39 PC gamer price.

I know, i thought only triple A titles could justify such a high price. Lets hope paradox arent pushing people into using pirated copies due to such high prices, i think this may happen...

Oh, wow. definitely gonna go with the steam version then. I was probably going to anyway (cos PDS will get a higher percentage of my sale than via retail), but the earlier date is just a bonus!

I´m getting teh usual US/Euro divide vibe from those dates. Even Steam usually unlocks the euro games on a friday and US games on Tuesdays to match outdated practises in the brick and mortar shops. This is rather amusing considering Paradox doesnt even have the physical game in many areas if at all and the areas that do is getting it several weeks later IIRC.

Is this a joke? Have you seen how much most games cost at release? It is almost double what Paradox is charging and this is their flagship title. I expected to pay more and was surprised when I saw the price. You shouldn't even be playing games if you think the cost is too great or insinuating this could breed piracy. What a joke.

40 Dollars is AAA price for you? Titles like Bioshock are like 60-70 dollars.


Anyway, could someone transcribe any new information in the videos? My internet wont let me watch them at any resolution better than 360.

Extreme Edition?
The Deluxe Extreme costs 39£ in steam too.

The Pdox Shop is strange.
I'm getting 39$ for the normal edition and 39£ for the extreme edition... but living in germany I would like to see the € price :eek:

If €5 is such a problem.. just don't eat for a day.
I mean come on people, its EU4..

It's not the money, $5 is like £3, which is less than a cup of coffee. Hell, I just bought a new bicycle for £800 and I only cycle in the summer. It's more about wondering if I'm being a hipocrat for refusing to buy a AAA game for £40, but then buying EU4 for £40......

Although... that said... I did back Satellite Reigns at £60, and Star Citizen to the level of $300... perhaps AAA games should get less support from me, because they're more mainsteam.....

Yeah, fuck it. Paradox deserve the support. Like you say, it's EU4! TAKE MY MONEY!!!
