Not reacting with the Palestinian flag is haram.

free game giveaways have no appeal to me when they're for a game with a bajillion DLC, because I still then have to pirate all of the DLC anyway. shame, because the steam deck did make me preference actually owning games on steam, but I also get a bit irked if I'm not playing the complete package

It's not even a giveaway, you can only play it for a few days.

ck2 is free for the foreseeable future though.

I wonder how long Paradox can sustain an audience that says to themselves “Surely this DLC will fix all of this games problems and make it excellent.”

I’ve played 2 of their major releases CK3 and Stellaris and have read enough form posts about the rest of their games to know that for some reason they just can’t fix core issues with their games. I don’t get it. People will point at the same issues patch after patch after patch and they never get addressed. If they do get any attention at all it’s typically a band aid that never gets turned into a solution and often times it makes things worse because they wind up breaking mods that do a better job at trying to clean things up than they can.

I want to love Paradox the types of games they publish speak to me in a way no other games do but between the patches that never really fix major issues and the scummy way they do DLC I’ve just given up on them completely.

It's exactly because of what you say in the last paragraph: there are no other games that do the same thing. In a desert, a bag full of spit is still close enough to water.
