I don't have any issues with pirating, but I honestly think they're a pretty good company considering they are making such an extensible and modable game even though there is far less money in giving users those tools. They definitely release DLC but over 10 years it wasn't more than $100 worth of content? I think Cities 1 has more replayability than any other game I've played and I have spent a total of like $50 on it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They're a pretty awful company that has a nazi fan community in Hoi4 and they don't seem to care. I don't think you understand. It's not extra content, it's base content that should've been in the game to begin with. When their games release, they are bland, empty and sometimes even unplayable. Their game is only finished after 1 or 2 years of DLCs. So you're fine with paying 100$ or 200$ for a regular game? That doesn't seem like a great deal to me.
Meanwhile take a look at No Man's Sky from Hello Games. Their game flopped at launch, yet they've been working for years to improve the game at no cost for players.
Paradox loves to milk their player base, and the fanboy community just eats it all up.
Cities Skylines costs over $300 for the full game lol
