Just stop.. Your VAC ban does not show why you got banned (what you read means nothing) Your VAC ban tells us you broke the rules on a VAC secure server (cheated/manipulated game files) that is all that it says and nothing else. So lets stop the debate about that! accept you are a cheater and move on.
If you rather have a AAA title (a stupid termology since it does not always suits the game its labeled on) why do you buy EU4 and the DLC's ?? why not just buy the other game and play that for 10 hours ??
Again you can always, at any point even if you bough EU4 now, revert back to another version, but the game still works fine without the DLC's. I have a few friends that didnt buy all DLC's and they play the game just fine.
Thats a fact.
Games, PC's for the sake are not essential for living. Games are merely entertainment and thus luxury goods. So its not irrelevant, its simple truth. If you can't fork out 60 euro now and then for games, then I dare say you have more pressing concerns than playing games on your PC..
If we do look at price // hours of entertainment, then EU4 most certainly most be one of the most value for cash kinda games.
2) I'd rather buy Witcher 3, GTA V, Civ VI, or any other new good AAA game than 2 DLC for Eu4. I wouldn't buy EU4 base for 52$ cdn either. It's a 30$ game base, 50$ with all required DLC.
And it doesn't work "Fine" without DLC. It's a semi-decent game without DLC, basically base 4.5/10
8/10 With required DLC.
9/10 with all DLC, since some are poorly implemented (faction system) and others add basically no content
Thats a fact.
Yes it is. It's not an argument. It's a fact, and an irrelevant one at that.
If you bought a constant comedity, lets say oil at a given price "x", and for no reason whatsoever, the price of "x" is doubled to "2x" then you, and about 90% of other consumers would be extremely furious about the price hike, especially if you either have to constantly by oil, or if oil "Extras" are purchased based off of the new "2x" rather than "x".
The thing is, if you bought Eu4 NOW you would not be happy with either the pricing, or the game BASE without DLC, nor would ANYONE fork out 280$ or more for the entire game.
this is why pirating of Eu4 is likely to rise
A profile thats privated which doesn't show steam level, games, hours, or inventory is far worse than someone with a 5 year old Vac, or even a 10 day old VAC.
At least the public profile PROVES their actual time in game, and experiance, your claims are baseless, unless you'd care to show your profile isn't fake.
Since you don't want to, you sure seem like a typical forum troll.

The VAC system reliably detects cheats using their cheat signatures. Any third-party modifications to a game designed to give one player an advantage over another is classified as a cheat or hack and will trigger a VAC ban. This includes modifications to a game's core executable files and dynamic link libraries.
Its pretty simple don't you think ? you cheated or manipulated files.. You can claim anything you want, but the fact still is that you did one of those or possible both.
GTAV and Civ VI has to be some of the most simplistic games out there to date and without innovation.. But why didnt you buy them then instead of EU4 dlc's that is the real question.. If you dislike EU4 and its DLC's why not just stop buying it and play something else ? nah you like EU4 better and this is why you are annoyed.
EU4 is a great game without any dlc at all, but since you fail to understand how their production works then you can't understand.. Let me see if I can find anything about it and post it in next post.
Its pretty hillarius however, that you want Civ VI. A game where you have to pay tons of cash to get simple civilizations to play.. I mean the main game has much much less civs to play then its old old old predessesors... The expansions cost around 30-40 Euro and bring little else then few minor features... Compared to EU series, the Civ series spams the same game over and over again and the same dlc's... In the life time of EU4 (2013) we have seen 1 expansion to Civ V and Civ BE and Civ VI. The full list of dlc's for Civ V is over 100 euro's (when not on sale) Factor in the price of Civ BE + its expansions and now Civ VI and its DLC's you get well over 400 euro...
The difference here is that they have made 3 games with the same expansions and civs to buy as dlc's where Paradox has keeps EU4 but instead enhanced the game and bring more features as opposed to instead make Eu5 in 2016/17..
It makes little sense to me to buy Civ VI if you already have Civ V its practically the same game with the same Dlc's / expansions "when they come"
But to each his own.
The thing is Oil is for some (not all) essential as opposed to a videogame.. If food prices spiked extremely then people would get angry, if the yo-yo had a price increase of 500% most would not care, because its entertainment and not essential.. Sure some would be annoyed, but they would simply buy another entertainment.. Thus your example is pretty invalid and mot.
EU4 and its dlc's have been on sale alot of times and will be so again at the summersale.. I don't think alot of new customers will come to this "niche" game in this late state.. But if they did they would most likely have fun with vanilla and either buy dlc's or play something else.
Again I rather pay 160 euro for EU4 with tons of updates/patches + dlc's expansions, then buy 3 Civ games and the same dlc/expansions over again.. Whats the point of making almost the same game without innovation ?
You should read that btw. I promised to find a link
First of all; You are so naive to believe that the VAC system isn't flawed. Of course it will be, there isn't anything out there that is 'perfect'.
Second of all; Now you are just trying to point fingers at people for 'cheating', trying to defend yourself. It's sad how people resort to that nowadays.
Finally, quit making a fool out of yourself. First you quote your in-game time trying to defend yourself, which it's private, and then you try to defend yourself afterwards.
Do you have any idea what you're even doing?
Now quit defending yourself like a cornered animal and get back on the main subject. This is getting ridiculous.
Remove pirate part of ur comment. Mods can take it as reason to remove whole thread and ban you.
All fanboys already reported, 100%.
If I look at all my other games, I paid no more then 25 euro's for each of them, and there are only a few that exceed the amount of 150 hours playtime. This makes a 20 euro DLC practically a new game for a reasonable price.
Still I do not think they should have raised the prices in other countries, raising prices after years is not thrustworthy and looks like they want to farm their community. Same with that they used to give 75% off on old DLC's in sales, which is reasonable, but now they are max 50%. Again not nice to the community. I also do think that some features of DLC's like developing your country form the very base of the game by now and should be included in either a cheaper DLC pack or in the game itself. It is not fair with the institution mechanic.
Overall I am quite happy with paradox and I hope they keep adding features to the game. Something with the battle mechanics and the HRE would be nice :)
The price increase in those countries are more than fair, infact they should pay the same as us. Its pretty unfair that all Europeans/NA have to pay extra just so people can get it cheap in those other regions. Remember thta those that can afford this luxury (games are luxury goods) Have the same or even sometimes more cash to spend, despite living in one of those regions.. Also remember that its way to easy to get "non region locked" copies in said regions and that just supports the black marked.
So instead of accepting you have a visible VAC ban and have been countered with several arguements about the DLC, you instead put up a personal attack and make it about my profile being private.. Are you really that dumb ? You expose yourself as a weak debator and if anyone is defending anything then its you saying VAC bans are flawed and your are innocent. Did you know its against the steam to post about your VAC ban being wrongfully ?? Well it actually is. The fact of the matter is you are a cheater, that is visible for all of us to see (even if you had a private profile)
You are yet to respond to any of my put up arguements about why the DLC policies are fine and the reason you don't want to stick to that topic is that you can't win it. It even goes against your own statistic to claim its awful.
