Ahhh, Stellaris and it's band of woke faggot devs.
I bought this game years back on Steam from one of the deals. Played it for a long while and even bought some of their expansion packs. The patch where they 'removed White Men' from being leaders for the Earth/United Nations of Earth was when I removed myself from paying for any more of their content. Not only that, but when I started a new game, I would usually create my own species, or use a non-human pre-existing one.
I always either turned humanity into a vassal state, or just outright eliminated them.
As of this time, I've already uninstalled the game from my PC and no longer play. Just because of the garbage that OP posted above.
They can’t help themselves from fucking with the game mechanics.
That was a big reason why I quit. Every other patch they had to 'refine' the game mechanics. And of course, none of my saved games would work with the new updates. Just....enough.
They use the steam beta system to let you roll back to any arbitrary release that you like. They really fucked up 4.0 but thanks to this system people could just keep playing 3.14 which was actually still good.
Right click the game, properties, click 'betas', drop down the beta participation menu and pick the version you want.
All other stellaris bullshit aside, I wish more games offered such a robust way to play prior versions.
Yeah, this is why I haven't looked at it in years. Due to work/IRL schedules, most 4x games I'll binge on for a week or two, then put down for months, before being able to come back to them. And I just got tired of having to relearn the game every single time because everything was redone to accommodate their new systems. If you want to add new stuff, go for it and (usually) it's appreciated. But reworking a core component of the game every single patch, and usually putting half of that rework behind DLC, no thank you.

Stopped playing entirely in April. They can’t help themselves from fucking with the game mechanics. And their DLC is just slop now.
