Pretty easy when you realize that Paradox max discount is 50%. So if you're at 400 bucks full price, then it's just a little bit of very simple maths to come out at 200. And that's for just one game. So we go from "unaffordable" to "still unaffordable". You're welcome.
That's just untrue base game was 30€ on launch iirc and i saw it below 6. Main Dlc's also went for 30 bucks so with 50% you can get 6 of them for below 100 thats basicly all the dlcs that matter for gameplay
E: you also forgot to take stuff like the starter bundle into Account
Wut?
https://steamdb.info/app/715194/ 50%
https://steamdb.info/app/614580/ 50%
https://steamdb.info/app/547502/ 50%
https://steamdb.info/app/420610/ 50%
etc.
But please, show me one major expansion that's been more than 50% off? Also, this would assume that everything would go 50% off, which isn't even true as many things have not been on sale at all, or only on tiny ones that don't affect the price much.
And stop the "gameplay" argument, as if "cosmetic" content is irrelevant. It's an even dumber argument to make in a game that's literally all about building pretty cities, not that it is a good one in other games either.
Ok keep being angry and keep your fomo for missing tiny bits behind a paywall, i will enjoy the base game a few handpicked dlcs and tons of mods.
Your claim was that Paradox max discount is 50% so have a look at cs1 base games and bundles.
