DLC Price Drop

[*Razor]

Its a great game but getting quiet costly to get all the dlc and there are certain sites i wont say which that you can literally save hundreds of $ on Would the developers ever consider a price drop to entice people to make the right choice?

There are sales multiple times a year and as yous aid other sites that sell cheaper. Why would they change their prices when there are many people willing to pay it? If you want cheaper, wait for a sale.

Companies are there for profit. I am pretty sure they know where their sweet spot is for price and sales.

Right now base price in Aus for the game and all dlc is $423 quiet alot of cash for just one game on one of these sites you can get the game and all dlc for about $130. Much more affordable for a single game

You're allowed to talk about isthereanydeal y'know and sometimes Paradox has better sales than on Steam but otherwise you should work for a charity if you think people deserve things for free while others have to make a living.

Also don't buy Paradox products for full price if you can help it.

Nothing is free in life not even happiness. power rent fuel rego and housing cost money without these thing you would be sad AF
They would still make plenty even if they cut all cost by 50% for as long as people can buy the game and no thats not a site im referring to

[Elitewrecker PT]

As has been said - you can use isthereanydeal to track authorised paradox sellers, which allow you to get individual DLCs for ~70% off when they have sales, or 15-20% off at launch.
There's ALWAYS a discount somewhere, there's never a need to buy paradox stuff at full price.

Think from a Corporate standpoint. 50% means pay cuts to employees. Paycuts lead to people quitting. People quitting leads to development getting bad. Bad development leads to crappy games. And crappy games lead to bankruptcy inevitably.
Like happy and others have said. Just for a sale or use other sites. PDX will do as it pleases. Just be glad they aren't EA.

Right but you are talking about buying the full game right now after it had been out for years with a ton of updates. Most of us paid a little here and there over the years making it affordable


Wait for a sale.

they made 45% profit over fiscal year 2022 so while 50% cuts across the board sounds a tad much, they would still have a healthy profit margin with a 20-33% price cut.

that 45% profit is also very much not going to salaries.

but ofc, as long as people buy stuff at the high price there is not much reason to change.

in other exciting news they paid 20% tax, which is more than i would have imagined.
and if you got shares you got 60 eurocents.

Now its time to interrupt this message with a cheesy sing along:

I've spent $75 USD on the game and all the DLC, never bought from Steam. Not sure why people would, the sales are awful.

I bought it during a sale. People just have their own personal preferences.

I've bought the base game and all DLC from Steam, like half was maybe from Sale and same about half been full price. Bought 100eur worth in full price at one point when did not wanna wait until sale, but wanted more content after already got hooked after buying base game + like 3 DLC.

And tbh, no regrets - all good purchases and i don't mind supporting Paradox with even full price money. Even if they would just spend it all on pizza, cigars and luxury sluts for the board of directors, still worth it. :D I've enjoyed the game since day 1 i tried it and will again buy next week the Paragons DLC here from Steam.

Yes, maybe cheaper somewhere else every now and then, but i enjoy simple things like buying from the same place. :D Like part is just about being comfy with it i guess, i don't really spend my money on partying or alcohol, so i just put money on Steam Wallet so easy to just buy anything that needs then from the same place. Sort of with visible "budget" so do not overspend lol.

I think Paradox's DLC monetary model is great and fair enough. And nice that they are making profits. Means more content for us in future. :)

For a new player who wants it all, i'd suggest waiting for a sale and/or dividing purchases into few months, so not so big price in one go. Those months go fast anyways when buys first the "essential DLC" so you get most important content to play already.

I recommend buying all at once. That way you can get all the purchasing power done at once. It also lets you flex how how much you make. The discount isn't enough to wait.

lol if only i -could- have had bought all at once. Cannot really flex with money when i'm poor and unemployed. :D

But, still the little money i have, i don't mind spending to a good product that gives countless hours of entertainment value. So not expecting or acting like some that they are somehow entitled to get things for free.

Like pay up if enjoy a product. No need to always complain about prices. Electric bill and rent sucks to pay, i always feel good about paying for games, at least then feels like paying for something fun. Well i guess having a roof over head is also fun. Or more fun than living on the streets would be. :D
