Hipsters' EA is hyping a game update. "Wohoo".

...seriously, I'm not touching anything Paradox does with a 3m pole.

EDIT: "EA" = "Electronic Arts", not "early access".

Stellaris is far from an early access title, it's also probably their best managed game.

I know Stellaris isn't an early access title. And it shows the same problems as EU4: Paradox is so invested on milking players through a predatory DLC policy that the game becomes a sloppy mess of feature creep, without any sort of consistent design behind the new features. Just like Electronic Arts loves doing, except with a niche genre.

it’s also probably their best managed game.

Given how poorly managed the other games are, might as well say "so far the poor management is a bit more bearable".
