  • Lol I absolutely complained about the cost of songs in Rock Band and Guitar Hero. I started playing those games in Guitar Hero 2 and refused to ever pay extra for additional songs. I guess in my mind, that was vastly different than paying for stuff like Stellaris DLC since I felt like I was being nickled and dimed.

    I take that back though. Now that I think about it I might have paid for the Trogdor song… unless that was included in the base game.


  • You know, I actually appreciate Paradox. They make top notch games like Stellaris, that are absolutely playable and complete by themselves, then add optional DLC while continuing to support the original game with updates. Some of their DLC is purely cosmetic, but they also add a lot of cool shit like “what if we had giant star sized dragons?”

    For a game that’s 8 years old, I don’t mind dropping a few bucks on interesting DLC every now and then. All in all, I’d say I’ve spent about $50 on Stellaris DLC and have more than enough content to keep me busy for a while.

    The Sims, on the other hand, is just fucking out of control. They’ve got expansion packs, game packs, stuff packs, and kits. Buying everything for The Sims 4 would be close to $1,100 as of a year ago - probably quite a bit more by now.
