Guess it’s “Patient Gamer” for me on this one.

    Nope. Voting with my wallet on this one. Paradox can fuck right off with scummy practices like this.

    If this was added after launch and actually added new content, yeah sure (maybe), but at launch? No thanks, I just won't buy your game at all.

    No I wont, since I dont support this kind of scam.

    DLC at launch that isnt just like a stupid cosmetic but actual gameplay is so trash

    Paradox won't stop doing crap like this because they still sell plenty of DLCs. Stop buying.

    Not defending Paradox's scummy business practices in any way, but by and large Paradox games' DLC usually came after their games have been out for a while. What's happening with VtM:B2 is a whole other level of shit.

    Paradox DLCs also classically add a ton of content every single time. Sure Stellaris kind of sucks as a new player because there's $260 of content, but it's perfectly playable and even good with only the base version and then you pick whatever new content you like as you want more of it. Rimworld has the exact same strategy and I don't see people complain about that. They release a complete game without any obviously missing parts and then keep bolting on cool new extra parts for the next 10 years.

    All that to say, yeah this is kind of out of character for Paradox. Which does have me concerned about this.

    Or... I know this is a crazy idea but, you could just not buy games from companies that pull this shit.

    Haha, nice. But people always pay it so this sort of thing will keep happening, as it has for a decade or more now 🤷‍♂️

    As much as i love the 1st one, and that was playing it 3 years ago, I will not be playing this one anytime soon. I'll wait for a deep discount if they are trying to sell us what should be in the base game as dlc

    They could've postponed that for like half a year, but they seem to doubt they'd sell anything then, after release. Bad PR move for already troubled game. I think it's a really bad sign if publishers does just that.

    I think you'll find I "have to" do very little.

    We've waited how long? Can definitely wait more until it is at a deep discount.

    Clarification: no you don't "have to". Fuck them right in the greed.

    Only $20? The upgrade from the regular edition to the premium edition is $45 in Australia. No amount of tax being included and currency conversions can get you there.
