Paradox is a trash company, that’s the overall point.
 
And Stellaris didn’t start off that way, they just borrowed the model they used for Crusader Kings II-  
Honestly no, I can’t even say that. With Stellaris they innovated on the model by having each new content update/expansion make the game worse.

@Officer Hotpants  
The three FTL methods were hyperlanes, jumpdrive and crawl, wormholes weren’t one for obvious reason of “you can’t move between arbitrary starsystems with them”.
 
>And when, about a year post-full release, they cut a bunch of functions from the game’s engine under-the-hood that not only broke a shitload of mods but actually made some of them unfixable.  
They what. That’s unbelievably retarded. That’s literally worse than Bethesda.

Paradox doesn’t do sequels, Paradox does a million DLCs. Know the picture that compares games to a fast food meal? Old-style game is full burger with fries being an addon, modern game is burger buns with what’s between them being DLC?  
Paradox is when every single strip of bacon and every single french fry is a separate DLC.

@Barhandar  
Steam isn’t a good platform at all.
 
@Officer Hotpants  
Modern software development. This means a sequel to sell you back all the old features is on the way.

@TwilightShitlord  
“Bingo.”

@Barhandar  
The next crisis is guns/“domestic terrorism from white people”. Mark your calendars, that’s when you can stop wearing diapers.

I self identify as an anarchist nazi. Keep them guessing.

@Barhandar  
No, I mean when they moved from early access to full release and removed all the racially distinct weapon sprites in favor of giving every race the exact same weapons and gutted the races’ background lore. And when they removed the pet feature. And then added it back in but left out the ability to level them up, making combat pets pointless. And when, about a year post-full release, they cut a bunch of functions from the game’s engine under-the-hood that not only broke a shitload of mods but actually made some of them unfixable.
 
Oh, and as for Stellaris they reintroduced wormholes in one of the bigger DLCs and warp in another. I think one of them is called Utopia. I dropped the game years ago when I realized the pattern that was playing out.

tf did I just watch?

Cloak And Dagger - Black Sabbath

Power Rangers+Strongbad=

@Havoc  
That’s for filthy casuals.

@Officer Hotpants  
Did they reintroduce “literally freeform movement over starmap” FTL in some new DLC?  
>Speaking of devs who gutted their games for no good reasons…  
“We don’t want our game to be Terraria in space with survival” is a reason. It’s not good reason, in fact, it’s a downright terrible one because there’s basically no content, but it’s still a reason.

YES, they deserved to die, and I hope they BURN IN HELL!!!

I rather be called a nazi then be a pedophile leftist

@Barhandar  
Shit. Forgot to mention that. Thanks.
 
@FeatherTrap  
Ah yes. Like when they removed two of the three FTL methods because it was “just too hard to make the AI use them properly” and “they made the multiplayer too chaotic”. And then reintroduced them under different names in paid DLCs. Plural.
 
God, I hate Paradox. It’s like they looked at EA’s model for The Sims and said “well shit! We can be scummier than _that!” And they were right. EA at least waited until the next game to remove core features that had been present from the very beginning to to sell as DLC.

Speaking of devs who gutted their games for no good reasons…

5D chess is now a thing.  
Here’s an Irishman playing it.  
Full stream

For some reason Chess.com is now using 60% of my CPU and is trying to distract me with red arrows and won’t let me view analysis of my matches because it takes longer than the age of the universe for analysis to load.
 
Putting red arrows there makes me think “How can I immediately deal with the red arrow?” instead of “What is the best move to make?”

@UrbanMysticDee  
That sounds like an SCP. You should write that dream into an SCP article.

Speaking of mods, I tend to mod the shit out of Starbound and _{I need help fixing my mod collections.}

@FeatherTrap  

Uh, you’re aware they started doing it waaaay before Stellaris existed, right?  
And that is why Steam isn’t a good gaming platform for singleplayer/moddable games.

 
That right there is why I got sick of Stellaris even before they started fleecing their paypiggy player base.
 
Too many essential mods that break every few weeks. God help you if it worked on mechanics they removed in the “expansions”
