Is the subscription worth it?

[Biowire20]

I believe the subscription gives access to everything. Is that true?

Anyone here have it and have feedback, is it actually worth it?

I'm looking at the $30 for 6 months plan. Any downsides you guys have?

Any downsides to the subscription at all?

I haven't played in a long time and just got back into the game a few days ago and wanna play some more with all the DLC.

Downside: Subscription ends = no access to the content

If you own no DLC then yes
If you own half the DLC it is a much harder sell

honestly not at all. theres only 2 cases the sub is worth it, you are only paying it a month to try out the dlcs to figure out which ones you want to buy, and in what order, or you only plan on playing the game for like 2-3 months and then not playing again for a long while after a couple updates, then picking the sub back up for 2-3 months rinse repeat.

after you've paid for like 3 months, you can already of bought a good portion of the dlc and have them until steam shuts down. if you get a good sale, (like the one right now, or steam summer sale) you can get like a third of them if not more for about the same price.

sub is just way too expensive to really ever justify if you plan on clocking a decent bit of hours over a stretched out amount of time.

you'll just end up spending more money than you would otherwise if you just take your time and buy on good sales.

I mean if you're not playing Stellaris for multiple months then the subscription is worth the money since you have access to everything.

Wondering about this myself. Wanna get into the game with the new DLC hype and all that but if I added all DLC via the sub, I feel like it'd be too overwhelming anyways and would end up causing me to quit the game more than anything.

Right now I'm only interested in the new DLC so I'll probably just buy that directly via the Season 8 thing and just slowly add other DLCs over time as I discover cool things via youtube or other platforms. Half the DLC, according to steam reviews at least, are mid to bad anyways. But then again I could just sub and deactivate most DLC... really undecided on this.

Undeniably great value if you just want everything, though.

I have being buying every dlc there is.
As i want to own them and hate subcription service.
But if you join late then subcription is cheaper.

while you're american and should able to easy throw out $300 for pixels, I guess there is only one reason to get subscription over the buying dlc step by step.
If you will play for 1-2 months and will take a break for a year because getting tired or moving on to another game.

every subscription ( not only this one ) is tricky scam. in the end you will have nothing only lost money. But paradox is rising prices again and again across the world to force you think that subscription not as bad as it is.

Not a native speaker, yeah im russian. but i'm hoping it is clear enough to understand

How much do you make? Without knowing that difficult to say if sub is worth it.
