I preordered Mare Nostrum, did you ?

[Niptium]

I'm quite pleased at the thought of a DLC that overhauls the naval aspect of the game. I cannot play a game where you only need to have the biggest stack of ships to destroy the entire navy of your ennemies. So I preordered Mare Nostrum this week end. Did you ?

 

[Isaios]

No, money now is more valuable than money later, so I spend my money later, when it is out

 

[Lemont Elwood]

Okay, you have to be a real sucker to preorder DLC. Something that doesn't even physically exist.

 

[Dakka]

Yeah I picked it up. Looking forward to Tuesday

 

[Fulmen]

Going to pre-order today.

 

[tom025]

Nope, not today. It will certainly be full of bugs and unplayable for at least 1 month .. so no thanks.

I will wait a little longer

 

[RoytheCoy]

Nah. I always buy the dlc on greenmangaming, since they charge in dollars, and usually around 15-20% off on top of that. I will get it as soon as it's available though.

 

[AhoyDeerrr]

I can not really justify spending upwards of £10 on EUIV DLCs these days, for multiple reasons. I will just wait, as I am with Cossacks, for it to get dirt cheap.

 

[Antaurix]

Do you get anything at all from pre-ordering? A discount or something?

 

[Freudia]

Nope. I'm passing on this DLC entirely as it looks like it adds nearly nothing to the game, let alone worth that price tag.

 

[Tweakee]

I'm skipping this one, I think. It just doesn't add anything interesting for me.

They'll get my money when Stellaris hits anyway.

 

[CoolSquid]

I don't think I'll buy it at all. It barely adds anything I want, and adds a lot of things I don't want.

 

[Ninaran]

I'm instead hoping for Cossacks to go on a 75% sale or something so I can pick it up at a (for me and my wallet) reasonable price.

 

[Phibs]

Unincentivized pre-order? I love Pdox long time, but that's a nope.

 

[Clownie]

No. Pre-ordering is a cancer on society, and anyone who does it is feeding into that cancer.

Imagine: Someone comes up to you and informs you that in two months, they will sell you a REALLY GOOD apple cake. You can pay now or in two months, it's all the same to them.

Man A decides to pay right now for the REALLY GOOD apple cake.

Man B decides not to.

In two months, Man A and Man B both realise that the promised REALLY GOOD apple cake is, in fact, only completely normal apple cake. It's still pretty decent! But it's not amazing. Man B decides to spend his money on another apple cake that smells and looks better but costs the same. Man A is left with ashes and disappointment.

I have enough money and Paradox is one of the few companies I don´t mind spending it on.


Unlike EA, a single penny would be too much for those bastards.

 

[Kollatius]

Nah, I don't preorder

Preordering encourages unfinished work, and cant you remember the last 10 releases where things were not finished/over hyped? Some features in mare naustrum like sailors literally only took changes to the defines.lua. Probably took less than a day to work in. I wanted a huge focus on improving the AI, which I think is really bad right now. i want a "development" type major feature that is fun. I dont see any feature worth getting excited about imo.

You know Paradox sells unit outfits and additional musical scores right? The EA business model is here and it isnt exactly subtle.

All of which do nothing to the game mechanics. It is entirely up to you to buy them or not. And while I personally did buy the unit outfits, I didn't buy any music stuff, because it makes my ears bleed.
