Yeah, but it’s a sustainable model that allows for longtime development and product lifetime. It’s also completely voluntary since base + utopia + synthetic dawn are 85% of all worthwhile content on their own
Like, microtransactions are garbage, but the industry has shifted to a point where you’re out if you don’t have a long term payment model. The paradox model at least puts a cap on what the whales can pay, and actually gives them more content in return.
It’s the least bad model out there. At least for companies too big to pull a factorio/terraria
But then still, most people wouldn’t pay over the standard full price of a game, no matter how big it is. So that’s actually less sustainable for a company
I have no idea what happened with the development of that game in any fashion. I just bought it and like what I played. I never looked into it because I figured most of it was going to be Paradox being Paradox.

Well that’s a flagrant lie. Baldurs Gate 3.
How much is baldurs gate? It’s standard full price isn’t it?
And they messed up that one after the original devs left.
