Paradox multipack on steam

[pguyton]

dear paradox I would like to use Stellaris to try to get my friends addicted to your grand strategy titles, a multi pack simalur to what is offered for magikia as a pack would be a great aid in this. I feel like STL is the best introductory game you've made - just the right depth. Once I have them enjoying that I can get them to try eu4 and hoi as well.

I have a number of friends that I've been unable to sell the coolness of eu4 but I think a gift of Stellaris would help us all have fun


Thanks fellow blorg!

Good call, i have a friend who really needs to be introduced to paradox but he keeps taking the cowards route and playing civ5 because HoI3 looks too intimidating. I will gladly take a double game bundle so i can invite him to the party.

I would really recommend that you try to sell your friends on CK2. I've had people who haven't touched a PC game in years, or only play DOTA, be absolutely stunned by it. The narrative angle really, really helps. EU4 is too...board-gamey.

Steam are getting rid of multipacks in general, so it is very unlikely for this to ever occur.

They are? Why would they do that?

People were buying 4-packs and selling the other 3 copies cheap on marketplace. This is why we can't have nice things.

Drat bad eggs ruin it for everyone. We are all big board game nuts I know they'd love them if they can get past the initial hurdle of all the moving parts - it took me 3 attempts to "get" eu4 but now I love it and have 500+ hours in it. Never thought of ck2 as a intro with rpg elements thanks for the suggestion !

I understand the reasoning, but I still don't think the 4-packs should be done away with.

By that logic, why not completely get rid of Steam sales? Someone could buy a bunch of copies of games on sale, then sell them on the marketplace for more than they spent.
