MODERATORS
We have spent a lot on Stellaris through the years and enjoyed every bit of it. So much new content, incredible amount of improvements (game can hardly be recognized from release to now). Worth every penny.
Remember games like WoW? Sure, live action service. Even much more expensive. Value is subjective. Sad to hear you have a bad experience with EU4.
I like the game well enough actually. I do think the game has problems, like for how complex it is, EU4 has surprisingly little depth once you figure out more-or-less how it works. In fact figuring out how it works is probably the most interesting thing about it.
Anyway, I'm not sure how much I paid exactly because it was so long ago. I did strategically buy the important DLC, I usually bought it a discount, but still I paid probably closer to 200€. The fact that apparently I should have paid 400€ to get the full game is just insane to me.
I feel nickel and dimed, I can't justify that expensive of a hobby.
