Paradox, why betray your loyal customers to the odious and arrogant torments of Steam? How many save games with many hourse invested have been irretrievably trashed because of forced updates? Too many for me not to firewall Steam like a toxic virus. "Steamed" is much too mild a term to describe my attitude to their treachery.

(Don't think I didn't set it not to update, either - on a crash, hiccup or update it would helpfullly "reset" the update settings to update automatically.)

Please make it available through GG, Impulse - somewhere civilzed, that courteously informs you of an update without ramming it down your throat.

You do know that Paradox created GamersGate? They've always been available on that platform. I'd almost say that buying from GG benefits paradox more then buying from Steam, though GG is now independent of Paradox (though I'd say there is still financial links between the two of some kind.)

As for Steam... well I have to agree with you. It's why I always use GG for Paradox games.

The most common reason is because there customers have moved to steam.
That said there is a GG version steam free, only GG tho, but beta patches are steam only

No financial or corporate links between GamersGate and Paradox beyond us working with them as a loyal partner and helping each other out since we all know each other very well. We have the same terms with them as other digital download partners.

Kind regards
