I do not have a Facebook account (or any social network account zI will never make a social network account, because I do not need one, an email account is enough for me), but I would love the ecclusive DLC's (I like to have the game complete, with all DLC's and expansions or else I feel I am missing out on the Full, Finished and Complete game ). I will not make a social network account just for a game, though. So is there any other way to get the DLC's?

I wouldn't be surprised if our Sales team sell them after release.

Question for PI: What are the benefits of pre-ordering, from the developer and publishers side? I usually never pre-order, I think it encourages bad practices, especially when coupled with zero day DLC stuff, but I usually make exceptions for Paradox stuff, because, and not to sound like I have a brown nose or anything, but I do like you folk. You're the only game company that I trust. If you release a game with problems you will fix it, I have no doubt, and you make great games so I want to support you, even if things aren't going so well. So I'm just curious how pre-ordering helps you, because you clearly want everyone to pre-order. If everyone who pre-ordered instead buys it normally on day 1 would you be in the same situation at the start of day 2? Or are there more complex accounting matters going on, and do pre-orders allow you to add more to the game, or would the game be the same without pre-orders?

/World record number of times "pre-order" appeared in a single paragraph.


More pre-orders = more day#1 sales = more people see it = more visibility = more sales etc..
