Like Chaos in Warhammer we are supposed to be happy after spending full price for a new game and getting something "free".It is not free.Taking something out that was already developed is just a marketing con.
Except that
  1. It is being given to you for actual free.
  2. It was developed in parallel and was planned to be done post release and is now being tossed in to the release because the main game was delayed.
  3. It's not even a pre-order bonus, it is just straight-up being included with every copy of the game as an optional add-on.
This wasn't "taken out" of the original design, it was never planned to done for the release and now anyone that purchases the game just gets it as a bonus. Why are you upset with this? If HoI4 launched back in February and the Poland DLC was released now, 3 months later, would you still complain that it "was cut out of the game"? Would you prefer they charge you for it?

Edit: I still don't understand what the 30 pounds(?) you mentioned was. Is that how much you paid for the base game? Are you upset that you can't get the optional module for free without the base product?

Right. I'm sure that until that very moment it never occurred to a business to charge money for a product they developed.

Mankind will look back on this day and curse my name for accidentally inventing commerce.
You monster!

Hey Podcat i know that you can capture enemy equipment by annexing a nation, like in the Hungary games videos, but can you get equipment be overrunning or encircling enemy divisions, like Greece did against Italy in 1940-41 i haven't seen anyone else ask this, so i though i would ask. Thanks!

Haha not really. Poland resisted for one month France for nine. Both got exiled government but nvm ;)
Well seeing this I wonder why France have to choose between Nuke and Jet and Poland can do both. Just weird imo. but We can mod it though.
France only lasted about 2 weeks more than Poland, if you look at it from the first time the Germans actually attacked France, which was May 10th

The only information we have about this is that the DLC was developed as a seperate project to the game and supposed to be released after the game came out but because of the postponing it was done at the same time and hence released at the same time.
You have no evidence to the contrary and I don't have any evidence that this truly was the case except for the devs words.

By the way, thanks for investing in Eastern Poland, Paradox! :3
