Hmm, I've only played Stellaris from this company and that game is great. A bit pricey with all the DLC, but the alternative of releasing a new Stellaris every few years probably amounts to the same.
Also, I'd rather play a well fleshed out 8 year old game, than getting a bare boned husk with each iteration - which sadly tends to be the norm for 4x games.

"A bit pricey"

My dude stellaris+all DLC is $350!

Furthermore, "releasing a new stellaris every few years" is not the only alternative. Look at all the games that exist that have regular free content updates.

Paradox needs to do better.

Dont know about stellaris but I got Cities Skylines (1) with all the content DLCs at the time for under $50, which I consider a very good deal for the hours I put in. For reference, I paid roughly the same amount for BF5 which I played for about a month and then forgot about it

Not sure whether you got it on sale, or how many DLC you actually got, but it currently costs $380 for the complete package.

It was in a humble bundle way back. Same with EU4 and CK2 had their own bundles iirc. All were great deals if you didn't own it.

300 USD... a 'little' pricey
