MODERATORS
The problem that keeps some people away is that they release a game that is a bare bones experience and then fuck their customers with piecemeal DLC for years afterwards. They are so bold as to release a game with features removed from the previous game then sell those features as DLC.
I have no doubt that the devs working for Paradox make good games, and I would certainly like to play them and experience their work. Their management however are fucking scum who will never see any of my money unless they change their ways (they won't).
They don't though? Okay, i haven't played any of their new stuff (my poison was Stellaris), but the base games have always been decent to play. Their dlc has been getting worse, Stellaris race packs just should not be a thing, but it's not as bad as some people make it out to be.
Stellaris on release and stellaris now are like 2 completely different games anyway
Is there actually a way to get to play the original? We now kind of have Stellaris 2, and Stellaris 1 is some kind of abandonware?! Although officially they are both Stellaris 1, of course.
We are kind of on stellaris 3.5 I would say. I think the 1.0 build is still available on steam
...wut?! How?
Go in properties of the game to the game version tab. But it looks like the oldest is 2.1.3 unfortunately
Oh, so Stellaris 4 is out already?!
I'm apparently currently running Stellaris 4.2.3. I didn't even know it's not Stellaris 1 anymore!
It's... Weird. If they consider there to have been already Stellaris 2 and Stellaris 3, meaning they see it as a different game, then... Why just delete Stellaris 1?
But also, I do need to try downgrading to 2.1.3 and see how it feels now that I'm used to the ways of Stellaris 4!
Good question, maybe it was compatibility issues ? Might be able to find 1.0 somewhere online I'm sure
