Pay to win?

[Cpenn]

Hey I get if they want to produce extra art and charge for it, but really using money to pay for in-game advantages. Paradox you just lost my trust for any future games. Or am I over reacting what do you guys think?

Monntu got me good so my bad but I’ll own my mistake

Paradox my bad I want apologize to anyone I mislead that was not my intention. I fully support you guys and you guys have done a great job sorry falling for a great April fools joke and I I’m so sorry for misleading people. I hope all is forgiven

Pretty sure Cpenn is reacting to Montu's April Fools post.

I think you are overreacting on an April's fool joke.

I mean, to be fair, this made me laugh whether its an april fools post to farm jesters or a legit post to farm jesters

either way made me laugh. So at least OP cheered me up today lol

Hey OP, today is April 1st. Montu's video was a joke and we currently have no plans to introduce seasonal content, stellaris bucks or lootboxes that I am aware of (apart from reliquaries).

I'm quite impressed they managed to hire Mansa Musa. They probably paid in prestige.

Very disappointed they didn't announce plans to team up with a pizza restaurant and let you place orders ingame and having them delivered by a driver in a blorg costume.

Well does some of the DLC come with content that is an in-game advantage that others do not have? If that's the case it's already a thing.

Not really no.
They come with different ways to do things but that's about it.

In fact, quite a few of the DLC options are meant as challenges, therefore putting you in a worst position than the free options would.

Plus, if we're talking MP (which is the only place where P2W would really apply anyway), all players have the same access to DLC that the host has so you can't really see player2 using features that aren't available to players 4, 5 and 6 as well.

In multiplayer, all the players have access to the same content (the DLC the host owns are available to all the players), you don't get things based on the DLC you personally own :)

My bad that’s what it was just flipped out but I will own my mistake and glad to hear no pay to win in the plans! Thanks for correcting me you still have a fan and one who feels like an idiot hope I didn’t do any damage.
