    It sounds like there are still some areas for improvement in the sequel so hopefully they continue listening and iterating after release as well. Either way I’m looking forward to getting into it, going to be sinking some serious hours on this one I suspect

        I dunno, at least with Stellaris it seems like they’ve followed the model of having an idea for a DLC, making the engine changes to support it in the base, and then the content in the DLC, so even if you don’t buy the DLC you see improvements and changes from the iteration.

        If selling DLC of dolphin men is how they want to fund continued development on a game, I don’t exactly find that the most objectionable.

          With HoI4 with every DLC they bring out even when you don’t buy it you get a DLC light.

            Yeah, it’s been kinda like that with Stellaris. I’d be upset if I felt like they didn’t deliver me a full game,and then wanted to sell me what they left out, but that’s not the feeling I get.

        Hey, sometimes things come in a patch!

        It’s just that you get access to maybe one feature, that won’t work properly without the DLC, and the rest are for the DLC stuff.

      They definitely are. Even just in the preview build. Like recently they added in a map view for topographic contour lines because a few YouTubers that had been given early access copies were complaining about the absence of this feature. The devs stated they straight up didn’t have this feature on their release roadmap, but changed their minds and added it in based on feedback from these YouTubers with advance copies.
