Paradox offers free games to compensate for bungled price increase

[Greybriar]

Just found out about this bit of news and thought I'd pass it on. Read more about it at PC Gamer or Gamer News Daily. The news is out practically everywhere PC gamers frequent.

If you bought a Paradox game between 17th May and 6th July in any currency other than US dollars, you can get a free game or two DLCs.

Thanks, I didn't notice this on the pdox pages.

I bough Steel Div, so now have a dilemma:
Stellaris or
DLC for Hoi

How do you know if entitled and how to redeem?

[Destraex]

Yes. How do you know? I potentially purchased things but don't remember exactly when... I know I can check. But I have the weekend to enjoy!

[Hofstadter]

I purchased Steel division within that timeframe, though I dont think the price change affected australians

No but that Pdox page says if we bought it in anything but US dollars in that time frame

Stellaris hands down. DLC for HOI4 is 'highly optional' at best... 'highly disappointing' and 'missed opportunities' is how I'd describe it, less objectively.

Have some weird logic going on:

I play Hoi4 a lot. But I don't play Stellaris 

[sandman2575]

I thought you meant buy Stellaris (base game) vs. DLC for HOI4.

I play tons more HOI4 than Stellaris, but Stellaris is still terrific and very much worth playing if you haven't yet. HOI4 DLC has been very disappointing to me -- really just new focus trees for nations I never play. I'm not one to harp on Pdox's DLC practices -- in general I think Pdox offers great DLC -- but the 2 HOI4 modules are simply overpriced for what they offer.

That's the weird logic- I don't have Stellaris yet.

Agreed DLC has been very light weight and disappointing. I get that they said they wanted to focus on getting base game right but still seem like that team's output is low. That said, nice to see that they have 3 additions to the Hoi team including a 2nd AI guy.

[Destraex]

I probably used Paypal on steam which would mean to Paradox, I paid in US dollars. But then.. I guess they would recognise the price I paid. Because it would be above the US price.

[Surtur]

Did anyone get a free game yet?

Did anyone get a free game yet?

No, I haven't, especially since I paid in US dollars. I say its Un-American, but maybe that is the point.  :D
