We need to bring back expansions... INSTANTLY

[STOP THE GREED NOW]

STOP CUTTING FEATURES FROM THE MAIN GAME AND RESELL IT AS DLC!!!!!!!!!
Soon when you load the game it will just say: " BUY DLC YOU MONEYBAG " and no, no gameplay. To get it you need spend 1000000000000000000000000000000000000$$$$$$$
Oh... you don't have enough money? Well @#$% you we don't need you :/
We need money to develop games!
Yeah? BULLCrap!!!
You sold 1000000 copies of CK2... MILLION. Each cost 40€......... YOU HAVE AT LEAST 40000000 € to support like what? 5 devs? and that's not enough?????????
At least in CK2 they didn't cut as much features.
BUT IN EU4 THIS DAMN DJOHAN FOUND NEW COSY WAY OF MAKING MONEY!!! HOORAY!!!!
What do we do? Simple! Develop a good game, sell it, THEN BUTCHER IT and sell it piece by piece AGAIN. No effort required.
Examples? EASY:
You was able to build y'know... some peace time activity y'know... building up y'know....... NOPE !!! TOO MUCH fun for "non-paying" users. Wanna build again? Well... 15€ YOU SACK OF Crap!!!
You was able to have vassals and personal unions... still wanna have them? 15€...
Same goes for colonies... 15€...
Oh yeah, if you need to actually get anything from them... another 15€!!!
Interesting trend the community points out every patch: ROTW is being nerfed every time! Looks like next DLC is called "Non-europe is actually fun now buy buy bUY!!!" Fascinating conspiracy... but it's true
Also how about PAY 2 WIN???? AKA "Art of War" their is no way people without this dlc can compete against people that do own it. I am not even going to mention anything more about it. You already know that singleplayer is being ignored. Exploiting multiplayer is more profitable... i guess...
Now about expansions yes you won't be getting new features, BUT game stays consistent, content won't suddenly disappear over night and get replaced by TERRIBLE BUGS CONSTANT CRASHES SHIT PERFORMANCE GOD DAMN.
If only i could go back to older versions but of course not they won't allow it, not in their interest.(EDIT: no longer relevant)
How the @#$% you expect me to support this company??? Huh? I dunno...

[Manzo_]

[STOP THE GREED NOW]

Silent majority will support me

how?

 

[brtzknf]

There's so much wrong with this post I don't even know where the start...

 

[Manzo_]

you go on steam and disable all the patches dlc and stuff and you play with the game as it was shipped two years ago

 

[SFSLovenought]

Obvious Troll is obvious.

I am curious how exactly people without Art of War are going to 'compete' against those who have it considering you get to use the expansion mechanics for free if playing a MP game where the host has it.

Achievement hunts? Fastest Ryukyu world conquest? Biggest map name?

Quality thread. I bet paradox will see it and listen instead of dismissing it on sight.

EDIT: AHA!

 

[DanubianCossak]

Everything Paradox does is one money grabbing operation designed to pay for Johan's yacht "Gustavus Adolphus".

I dont understand why you had to make a thread on this, it is known...

 

[Zaelot]

Paradox Interactive at their headquarters

Untrue. Steam sales do exist. I didn't play 40 € on Steam for either CK2 or EU4.

You might need to relearn how sales and economics work and who receive what amount of money etc.
Taking another look at what DLC add might also be a good idea and read up on in what ways its superior to the old expansions. (A hint: you can actually choose what you want to pay for.)
Learning how the MP/SP thing works might also be worth looking into, but Wiz has already explained that part.
And who expects you to support a company which you obviously does not want to support?

EDITED OP for some foul language.
please keep the trolling work-safe, thanks.

-Thank you on behalf of evil corporation.
I must now go back to counting all the money rolling in as it is beginning to backup and spill out of the loading dock.

And of course this is a post for which there is no like option!

That said, it might not be humour, it might be the truth disguised as humour.

 

[Kljunas]

I don't get what makes the old expansion model better than the current one. It's essentially the same thing but without the optional free patches.

Poe's law is in full swing here.

Bad troll or just really stupid? That is the question!

As an evil corporation I expect you to pack some of that money into comically large bags with dollar signs on them, go buy an orphanage, kick the orphans out into the gutter, and use the former orphanage to store your money.
