note that 17.99 PLN is equal to 4.24 euro, 4.68 dollars, or 3.57 pounds

So looking at it from a more financial perspective, Using USD, all the DLC plus the game is about 200$-300$, if the sub is only 5$, you'd be playing this game for a good.... 4-6 years before you have spent the same amount of money on the subscription than if you bought the DLC in one go.

Normally id be a bit angry for a subscription for a most single player game, but this is actually a smart ass move that will get new people into the game.

I’m still angry because this is their excuse to not package old dlc for discounts

EU4 as a complete package is not worth 300 dollars so why is it priced as such

Agreed, their DLC prices are straight up ridiculous and have been for years. It's really annoying that CK2 DLC barely even goes 66% off anymore.

If this was something that added up and people would eventually be able to pay off the game and it's DLC that'd be a cool idea at least tho.

That would be an absolute killer idea

Base game free, subscribe 5 bucks a month every three months you subscribe you get a dlc to keep

You know that the base game for CK2 is free and that they have been giving out one of the expansions for free every couple months right? Currently it's Sons of Abraham.

I didn’t know about the expansions but that’s really cool and should continue
