      Eh, I like their DLC policy. I’d rather pay a little every year or so and get a continually updated game than pay a lot every few years with no updates in the meantime. But that’s only true for grand strategy games where a new release isn’t likely to significantly change gameplay, just add flavor and whatnot.

      The one change I’d make is making DLC free after a few years, so there’s less to catch up on. That would reduce the barrier to entry for new players like subscriptions do, while still funding ongoing development by existing players who don’t want to have a subscription.

      I usually wait a year or so to get a discount, especially since it takes about that long for them to fix the bugs anyway.

        The old DLC do go on pretty deep sales regularly at least. Usually when a new DLC comes out.
