  • 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.


  • There are lots of games where I don’t like the game or the business model, and I don’t buy those games 🙂

    Now, don’t take this the wrong way, but what is it about paradox that makes people annoyed enough to not just… steer clear of the games, but comment about DLC policy for decades after a game has been released?

    I’m not sure I get it. If I don’t like something and or don’t think the business model is ethical I just don’t buy the games, I don’t hang out on forums or subreddit or communities for the game and complain about it.













  • hvis man er lidt moderne, kan man altså lave bønnebøffer og linselasagne og hvad ved jeg, uden at børnene overhovedet lægger mærke til, at de spiser noget andet end ko.

    Hah, du har anderledes børn end jeg har ;) Jeg erstatter aldrig oksekød med kylling eller gris, for det smager ikke ens. Ingen af mine børn vil have kyllingelasagne, og jeg vil også selv hellere lave noget andet med kylling end lasagne. Kun lasagne er lasagne.

    Jeg køber meget mindre oksekød, meget mere svin og kylling, men det betyder også at jeg helt andre retter. Og det er fint for mig (og ungerne).
