I'm not necessarily referring to you, it's a phenomenon which I see on all platforms where there's a paradox community.
People used to share strategies, mod stuff, and generally talk about the games, but for the past 10 years the community has become more and more entitled and toxic, with every damn thread devolving into discussions about DLC policy.
Look, I get that many people don't like it. But how about just not buying the game then? I used to buy Pro Cycling Manager every year because, well, it's the only cycling game in town. But I got sick of them never improving anything and so I dropped the game, stopped going to their forums and communities, and spent my money on other stuff.
But it seems like half the people who hang around paradox communities are there to complain about the business model. I just sometimes wish people would give it a rest and find other games where they don't hate the business model, and leave those of us who are ok with it alone instead of drowning out all the fun and community with negative shit.
