Game just got released and they are already doing an expansion?

[..]

Lol is all i have to say.
One only needs to look for signs of how things will be, and these signs are showing me that they are going the same exact route for this game as they did for CK2.
Its like 200 euros for fully purchasing a 10 year old game (CK2) once it has been fully "completed".

So my question is, what is the final price for this game going to be?
How much does one have to expect to pay for this game to get full access (once they have finished splitting the microtransactions into dlcs (or expansions or whatever they call them these days).

I miss the days of warcraft / starcraft expansions.
1 or 2 expansion... not 20.

Lol you gotta be crazy to support expansion on start.

This game doesn't have day 1 dlc. And it's totally normal to start working on an expansion as soon as the game is out. What could possibly be wrong with that?

I came here to check the game out. I've seen what i need.
"oh your just 1 person", yeah but i know that any sensible person will agree with me. Meaning that they wont buy this either.

Paradox games are pretty popular within the strategy niche they occupy. Somebody is buying these games. .

I am curious.

If you have not purchased the game, why are you so "animated" about CK3 business practices since you have not personally evaluated the value of the product?

Personally, with all of my different hobbies, I cannot find a better deal per hour of entertainment.

So far, with the Royal Edition purchased, it has has cost me 59 cents per hour of entertainment.

Likewise, if I rent a movie; and being generous with the movie being three hours long, it is one dollar per hour of entertainment at a minimum in most cases.

For games like CK3, it normally generates a lot of hours of game play and the "price of admission" is worth it per hour of entertainment.

This seems like a form of capitalism to me; otherwise, the business model would go under sooner or later - monopoly or not.

Whatever guys. That said, this business practice disgusts me to the point where ill declare here and now that i will NEVER purchase this game unless it is 90% off.
Forget any notion of supporting these "developers". Are plenty of other good games out there.

I love it guys "dont buy it if you dont like it". No.
I'd rather this be another case of justifying the banning of steam from my country.
"this is the way capitalism is", no.. this is the way monopolies work. It is only going to get worse and nothing will ever change as long as the shills operate freely without being labled for what they are.
