Well I admit I am not keeping up. When I went to update-play WH2 it cost me like 100 dollars. You are right that is a lot. I guess I am just a sucker for abuse.
However like most gamers I know now they're probably going to be releasing about 10 - 20 different DLC separately if that and it's getting completely out of control even by most peoples' standards
I will say, for what it is worth, Paradox has redone their DLC policy to be a bit less money-grubbing. From what I have seen of the dev diaries thus far, it looks like a huge step forward from just the barebones, and the new Paradox policy on DLC is going to be that important shit will not be locked behind the paywall. So any major updates to the core will be in the free update, while the DLC will only affect changes made by the DLC.
Not saying you have to change your mind on it or get it before you feel it is ready, but I think Paradox is actually continuing to live up to their name and somehow change their entire way.
I agree with the overall point though about Warhammer 3. When it was first released, I loved it and thoroughly enjoyed both the campaign and the new factions. But it seems like every update the break the game more (much like they did with Three Kingdoms) and they seem to refuse to fix it. I know that there have been suggestions they take after Paradox and make a team dedicated to bug squishing their games, but CA seems to be offended by the accusation.
In order to play WH3 properly, you have to buy like 3 games. I dunno why they're complaining about DLC. It's a club. Pay the dues or don't.
