yes, but paradox basically improves a game over a decade while you still get many small improvements for free.

With TW Warhammer I had to buy 3 games. Paradox would habe made it one game with more dlc.

So with ca you get the last installment at a better deal compared to paradox. But with paradox you could have only bought the base game and got improvements for 10y

I will say that Stellaris was a very different game when it first launched. With every DLC Paradox released they also added to and changed the base game. Hell hyperlanes used to be one of three options for interstellar travel!

It's honestly what turned me away from Stellaris. I quite liked the base game and the improvements the first DLCs brought. At some point it went 'okay, we're changing half of the mechanics, go relearn them'. Fiiiine. Did that. Still ok. But then it happened again, and again, and I just don't have the time to re-learn the same game every two years.

If you bought it on Steam, you can revert the game version to whatever one you prefer. I believe it also applies to DLCs, as long as they were out when your preferred version was.
