30 euros for the next DLC "Tours and Tournaments"

[Scotvince]

Do you think it is justified regarding to the content on the steam page description?
Am I wrong, or did Paradox increased new DLC prices for a while (Stellaris DLC included)?

EDIT: I just follow the develomment of a series that I love. I don't own the game. It's too expensive, I will buy it on steam or another legal site one day when on big sale.

£25 is hideous for a DLC. Absolutely bloody hideous.

because the other bits are nowhere near as interesting as tours and tournaments.

How would you know that? The dev diaries haven't even dropped for those. Either way still doesn't explain why would you pay more for less, when you can get the whole package.

you're assuming everyone wants to buy all and not just one.

I may be remembering wrong but I seem to recall it being said back before 3 was released that there'd be a different approach with CK3 vs CK2.

With 3 the major stuff would be free content, the DLC would be entirely optional, and purchasing it would be more like a show of support for continued development than buying the content itself. What I'm getting from the Dev Diaries seems to be backing up this concept.

If you don't think the DLC contains enough content to justify the price so isn't "worth it" don't get it. If you're not interested in "supporting further development" and just want to take advantage of the free content that's fine as well. I personally don't think $35 is too much for four content packs, several accompanying "free" updates, and the raft of mods that they're sure to inspire.

It breaks down to $0.67 a week for a years worth of content.

as always, after 1 month this dlc will be on any keyshop online in the world and you'll be able to pay it 4 or 5€, so don't worry.

No it won't. lmao

Key sites only sell them for the lowest price the game has been while on sale.

I'm not assuming anything, you're mirroring your own behavior. Its simply common sense to buy something with more value...

You're the one who is assuming the other stuff has no value...

I will wait for a discount for sure, doesn't seem worth half that price

[Purger Of Souls]

The last expansion pack was not worth the price and this one will be the same. Glad MLB 23 is out on PS5 at least that company knows how to treat consumers.

The price is 20, 30 if you buy the bundle with 2 another dlc

The prices here have almost doubled. That's called gouging.

Yes, I know inflation's a thing, but not that much.

I don't know about gouging, maybe it costs this much to make this DLC and is a fair price, but i do know that prices have gone up in many game series, like for example Total War's Chaos Dwarves are £18, for a single faction.

In my own case, what's happening is that the number of games i have kept up-to-date by buying each DLC is getting smaller, and i'm only buying the most important ones. I love CK3, i think it's a very decent game overall, but i must bow out from keeping it up-to-date, as there are a couple other games that come first in importance.

I must admit i'm curious as to whether many other gamers are being priced out of gaming, by the cost of living and rising prices, or if i'm in a minority of poor-people who's custom won't be missed.

DLC prices are starting going up everywhere just like games prices are right now. This not just a paradox thing. It sucks to be sure but it is the new reality like it or not.

[JF]

The chapter 2 season pass seems well priced tough (at the current preorder price) for all the content included : a major expansion, a persia regional DLC, a cosmetic DLC, and an events/story pack. The price seems right to me.

Piecemeal, yeah, it's pricey. I guess they want to push people towards the season pass.

[Hugemoron]

another hugely disappointing DLC ill be skipping

[ƬᗩԲԲվ]

Does anyone know if any DLC in chapter II will let you play some lesser status character? Like not a ruler?

Otherwise I'll be holding off until some sale.
