Do I need a Paradox account to play it.

[lostlambda]

So like the title says. With the requirement of a paradox account to download mods from them I do wonder if I will be allowed into the game without an account. Can one of the devs or someone who has been given early access answer this for me. Thank you.

My guess is probably not if you just want to play vanilla, but if you want mods, or any other "benefit" they disperse through the Paradox launcher, you'll have to make a Paradox account.

"Will you have to log into Paradox Mods separately from Steam or Microsoft Store?
As long as you have connected your platform (Steam, XBOX, PSN) account with your Paradox account, there is no need to log in separately to Paradox Mods."

In other words: You will need a Paradox account to access Paradox Mods.

Sidenote: The moment you link your Steam to your Paradox account you'll get a copy of the game (And all other Paradox games you own) on your paradox account as well. So if your Steam ever gets banned or whatever you can still play the game via Paradox :)

How to get one's entire Steam account banned?

Only need an account if you want to use the mods platform.

Yes, this is a very good benefit. I have linked by accounts and have all my games also at Paradox in this way

Piracy, hacking, fraud (payment fraud), scamming, or repeated spreading of hate and incitement or personal attacks.

So really ♥♥♥♥ that could get you banned from real life as well and everyone with a grain of common sense would refrain from anyway. If you are at that point in life, having your games on PDX instead of Steam is the least of your concerns.
