Not sure if you've ever played these types of games, but this strategy allows for the developers to continuously tweak the game as well as add new content throughout the (now 8 year) lifespan of the game. Don't think of it as the whole game+DLC costing $300+ (or whatever), think of it as an alternative to COD putting out a $70 game every 2 years (or FIFA putting out a new game every year). You buy the initial game, and then every 6 months or a year you get a new DLC that improves it and adds things. They also usually have a free patch that goes along with it that adds new features and fixes any issues that pop up.

You also have 100% control over what you want to buy. Do I care about fighting as China in HOI4? No? Then I don't buy that DLC. Do I care about fighting as a Viking and pillaging England in 867? Yes? Then I buy that DLC for CKIII.

The only time it looks insurmountable is when you're looking at something at the end of it's lifespan and contemplating buying the whole thing. All of the DLC is not for you at that point. It's for the people who have played the game for the better part of a decade, know the ins and outs of it, and want something more and are willing to pay for it. Go grab the base game and play it and have fun. And what's more, it's free.

EUIV has so many expansions that really alter the gameplay like "Wealth of Nations" on trade. Is this the base game only?

Yes. Typical move by Paradox, bombarding you with DLC. Tactics like this make me not want to support studios like this or play their games. It's just as bad as Train Sim or The Sims 4 or so many others I'll either never play or many people will pir8 because of it.

My OCD will not let me buy games like that, but I'm glad to have it for free.

Thanks for the reminder about the addons. All too often those easily get missed, especially when they're scattered like the ones on this title.

Yes, you'll sure teach them a lesson by not taking their game for free!
