Comment on Stellaris updates are slowing down to stop empires randomly destroying themselves, among other bugs
Paradachshund@lemmy.today 1 day agoOof, yeah that performance point is rough.
Stellaris is such an interesting game to follow. I’ve never seen another game so willing to change major stuff regularly. It’s definitely got its upsides and downsides.

Yeah, but it’s starting to feel like there’s more downsides. They’ve put out so much DLC that they’re literally offering a monthly subscription service to get access to all the DLC. The new DLC costs $25 (base game costs $40), and comes with a game-breaking patch that couldn’t have been shipped without knowing there were glaring issues, and a disclosure that AI was used to make some of the assets. It’s getting harder to feel that you’re seen as a playerbase instead of a cash cow.

I was pretty ambivalent about the subscription. I don’t like subs in general, but I joined stellaris a little late and the amount of money to get all the DLC is very daunting. I can see how as a new player it would be a good offer.
That being said rent to own is always going to be how it should be imo.
