    I’ve heard them say before they’re fixing performance issues but I never seems to actually get better. Hell I can barely run this game anymore. I have to always use small galaxies and even then by the end game it gets slow.

    I’m a little concerned about that part about limiting information though. Limiting anomaly pop ups? That’s like probably the best part of the game really. That sense of discovery.

    Hipsters’ EA is hyping a game update. “Wohoo”.

    …seriously, I’m not touching anything Paradox does with a 3m pole.

    EDIT: “EA” = “Electronic Arts”, not “early access”.

      Stellaris is far from an early access title, it’s also probably their best managed game.

        I know Stellaris isn’t an early access title. And it shows the same problems as EU4: Paradox is so invested on milking players through a predatory DLC policy that the game becomes a sloppy mess of feature creep, without any sort of consistent design behind the new features. Just like Electronic Arts loves doing, except with a niche genre.

        it’s also probably their best managed game.

        Given how poorly managed the other games are, might as well say “so far the poor management is a bit more bearable”.

        I’m pretty sure they mean The Company Formerly Known As Electronic Arts.

        Because Paradox have a track record of buying studios and monetising their games in a similar way that EA monetised Maxis’s The Sims.

          Exactly. (I should’ve used its full name, now I get where Madbrad200 got that “early access” thing.)
