I hate to do this.
But I have to do this.
You probably heard it already dozen times. "I'm a loyal cusotmer of PDX, I was with them since EU2, etc.".
Yes, yes I was.

But right now - after their latest changes to DLC policy. Well, is it time to say: goodbay?
They have changed. Success changed'em. They were different company once. They did release better games, they did care about their customers feelings. They did try to play fair.
Right now they don't even try to act like a good company. Paradox has closed it's eyes on the main problem they face - success.

PDX just can't act like before, not with amount of money that they earn nowadays. Money changes everything. Money changed Paradox.

Shame on you Paradox, shame on your greed, shame on your marketing and release departamenets (I sincerly hope that PDS is still with us - customers).

EU4 is great game, best in its genre. I'm so sad to say this, but don't buy it. If Paradox only thinks of money, let's stop giving it to them. Maybe they will change.

If not - the history will no longer remember Paradox as great company, that created the very best grand strategy games of all time.
