I’m pretty sure they mean The Company Formerly Known As Electronic Arts.
Because Paradox have a track record of buying studios and monetising their games in a similar way that EA monetised Maxis’s The Sims.
Comment on Paradox date Stellaris 4.0, a "phoenix update" to attract new players and improve performance
Madbrad200@sh.itjust.works 6 days agoStellaris is far from an early access title, it’s also probably their best managed game.

Exactly. (I should’ve used its full name, now I get where Madbrad200 got that “early access” thing.)

I know Stellaris isn’t an early access title. And it shows the same problems as EU4: Paradox is so invested on milking players through a predatory DLC policy that the game becomes a sloppy mess of feature creep, without any sort of consistent design behind the new features. Just like EA loves doing, except with a niche genre.
Given how poorly managed the other games are, might as well say “so far the poor management is a bit more bearable”.
