Will HoI IV take the same DLC route as Stellaris?

Is there going to be exclusive DLC that is not buyable upon release of the game (Yes cosmetic DLC included)?

I'm not buying another game from Paradox using this type of marketing even though I usually pre-order games but I've hit my limit with anti-consumer marketing.

Even the Stellaris stuff will eventually get added to the store for you to purchase.

I agree with the sentiment, to be honest. It's beginning to feel like being squeezed a little.

Also a bit surprised they are starting with season passes though. Not so long ago Pdox has said they don't like the idea of season passes. But seems like money is persuasive. Gotta come of looking good with an upcoming IPO, I guess.

How are you being squeezed you don't have to buy any extras and the extras don't add to gameplay. It's like going to MacDonalds and saying you feel squeezed because you can get an extra large meal for a bit extra.

As far as I know there has been no word on that except that they currently have no plans for it. And Stellaris is the first game where they have no had the pre-order and "social marketing" DLCs purchasable on release.
