Was just wondering did you guys abandoned the console ver? It great that you are keeping the game alive in the PC world but it be nice if you assigned 1 or 2 people to console ver. Least put out a message once a year.

it got a major update in i think august and it looks like they'll be getting apocalypse this year. as for them assigning people they've actually hired out the adaptation to consoles to an entirely different company. they give them the pc stuff and go "make this work for consoles"

First thank you for the part of the message that had using information in it. But I think you misunderstood the reason for the question followed by the tone of the statement that followed. I was not asking them to assign one or two coder to game just someone to https://console.stellaris.com/ last update 5/21/2019. Pretty sure you do not have be a master of PC or console programming to do that. The lack of information and seeming unwillingness to take time to fix said lack is the source of my slight irradiation, not that these thing take time. I am very happy they brought this game to console and I really want it to succeed it area that very lacking in the xbox/ps4/switch world.

The best place to suggest to Paradox that they handle their web site & forum differently would be on their web site, in their forum.

That would be the best place.... which why I posted there as well. It seemed reasonable to post in both places to increase the chances that someone that had some control on the matter might do something. But thank you for the thought.

they only moderate this place based on reports, they don't read the steam forums(unless they've changed their practices of course)

Like for most of their games, news is posted in their forums, not on any website front.

I really would not have any way knowing what their practices are as I do not work there maybe you can tell me where you read them? But one would think they might read the forms where ever their games are played through just to get the general vibe of the player base if nothing else... special on something as popular as steam. Course even if they do not or the chance is small as it only took 20 second to post I did not see the harm in trying.

1. I fear I am not certain by "website front" if you mean steam or the rather lacking console web page that prime purpose is sell the game and give user information on it. I going assume you mean steam as not even having a link to the forms on the console ver page only goes to prove why someone might think they had abandoned it and just say.... Really I had no idea steam in long history had never had game provider give them updates and info about a product before special never in forums that are for the purpose of talking about and sharing info on the game in question. Certainly in no forums has a dev or moderator ever posted.

2. Like for most of their games, news is posted in their forums...the word most does not mean all even if there a 0.1% chance someone that matter reads it was worth the time it took to type. Course all of this is assuming you correct which I do not believe you are but we can just agree to disagree if you like.

3. And yet again as already stated in a post above I have posted in that forum as well.

4. I feel as is often the case being slightly subtle in forums caused the key point I was going for to be missed. So here it is bluntly. I did want the info and I found it after a muc longer search then needed, I am disappointed that I have to dive to find information that you think they want everyone to know. I do not believe this in long term interest of the game and I'd like them update the web page with something other then a link to the PlanetFall Exp.

5. Lastly I am done with tread as I spoken with lovely women in Paradox marketing who may or may not have really cared but she was super nice and faked it well if she did not care. So wish you all the best and good gaming.

1. Why on earth would they post news about the console version on Steam? You are aware that Steam and consoles are competing markets right? A website front is the front page of a website, the page you go to by default, which is usually just an advertisement and has no important information on it. Like the page you linked above for the console version.

2. Let me know when you even find the main web page for Stellaris, Victoria, or EU4. Hint: They don't exist. HoI4 and Imperator Rome have an advertisement page just like Stellaris console, no news, just ads for products. Crusader Kings 3 is the only game they have I'm aware of with a website that has news on it, because the game isn't out yet and they have to put something there.

Playing this game with a controller has got to awkward.

Playing any empire-management type strategy game with a controller IS very awkward.

Depends entirely on how the UI is laid out. It isn't an inherent issue whatsoever.
