promotes gambling-like RNG mechanics not grand strategy anymore complaining about it will earn you a ban
BEWARE the DLCs from paradox are basically expensive LOOTBOXES constantly expanding gambling-like RNG-mechanics instead of actual strategic depth AI improvement or even FIXING BUGSif you complain about that on their forums they will ban you so that you will also lose access to technical support in case you ve got problems with your gamei ve still been a fan of their games for a long while because there are not many other developers of grand strategy games out there except for eversim with the GPS4 power and revolution series which i m turning to now but recently their games especially stellaris hoi4 and eu4 got shallow and dull all the strategic depth is being simplified to gambling-like RNG and even the UI is designed silly and cartoonish with huge buttons probably planning on porting them to mobile devices later on so as they are leaving the grand strategy genre i am also leaving themfarewell

Completly ruined my favourite game
Completly ruined my favourite game Prison Architect Every game they buy from some small great developer turns into a buggy cash grabbing dlc-innuendo Constant use of censorship in their own forum when constructive critisism is posted Releasing grand strategy titles that are just shells without content and full of bugs Then they release DLC for 8 years until game is barely playable Never buying another game from Paradox

DLC laden trains on every game
DLC laden trains on every gameIf you consider older games you are looking at walls of DLC that come well over 100-200 dollarsand if you plan on playing a newer game be prepared for what is essentially a subscription service of charges slowly building to that 100-200 wall of DLC over the time they deign to give it attention

Security Warning from Avast
My antivirus warns me that Cities exe from Cities Skylines a game I ve played for over 1 000 hours has suddenly tried to connect while loading the game to a URL named api buffpanel com infected with phishing and from Paradox Interactive Support they not only told me without checking that it is a false positive but that the game is fine as it is and that I should change the antivirus to have a result according to their opinion Unfortunately under these circumstances I cannot recommend buying or playing these disreputable video games with that terrible customer service

Cash grabbing developer
Updates used to be good but now they strip the base game down as much as possible and add the stripped parts as 150 separate DLC s If you can never buy from them Some games are okay most are terrible without most of the DLC

Do not EVER buy a Paradox product You ve been warned
The most dishonest anti customer service company I have ever bought a product from I bought Cities Skylines from them a month ago Aside from the fact that for every 1 hour I actually played the game I spent 10 hours getting the game to work with mods the actual gameplay worked from a graphics hardware standpoint for about three weeks UNTIL the developers updated the game last week and now the game doesn t play period I requested refunds from Steam and Paradox who both refused Kenny and Christian from Paradox are about as condescending and unhelpful as I ve ever seen After doing my due diligence and trying everything they suggested my game still doesn t work and they claim its my computer That is patently false given that the hardware is more than sufficient and the game played before their update Paradox is refusing to own the fact that their update rendered the game unplayable for me and they refuse to do the right thing because they are money grubbing and dishonest The developers fed me a line of B S saying we don t support mods when the actual Cities Skylines advertisement online touts robust support and totally moddable This is false advertising which actually violates the law Go ahead buy a Paradox product After a month it may still work Then again it may not The support staff may help you they may not They will most likely say its just your end and leave you high and dry Hey Paradox without customers to buy your product you are literally nothing so maybe treat the customer like they are something and make things right when you wrong them I am having my lawyer draft a letter demanding a refund coupled with a report to the Better Business Bureau and putting out warnings across all consumer channels
