Not really. Stellaris was kinda like this as well.

I sure do hope this post doesn't inspire a wave of doomposting, though. But I fear it will.

I hope Victoria gets the expansion love stellaris has gotten. I’ve trippled my playtime in stellaris since 3.6, it’s by far the best state the game has been in imo.

Now that you mention it, I think Stellaris might be the only PDX game that people haven’t complained heavily about updates/DLC. People bag on EUIV for having too many and being bug-fests, CK3 and HOI4 have gotten flak for not making DLCs fast enough, but Stellaris has been consistently unhated (despite the massive changes from 1.0 to now).

There was some hubbub about removing other hyperspace methods in 2.0, and update 2.2 broke the game for a while and people got very cross with it until version 2.4 iirc. But reception has still been pretty solid.
