Since this is a game I care about, I decided to spend some time making this guide offering a player's perspective, with the hope it would be useful to someone. This task is made more difficult by the fact that the store page of each DLC is not very effective in conveying the content provided and how this plays out in an actual game. Now, with so many options it may be a confusing experience for a newcomer who wants to pick just one or two DLCs and he's unsure which one to choose. Therefore, in evaluating the content offered versus the cost of each DLC, you should also consider that the largest part of the developers' work went into a free update that everyone can enjoy, even if they don't own the DLC. If anything, to me this is a way better compromise than rebranding the same game year after year forcing a new purchase, or plaguing the game with microtransactions (like some other companies do). Personally, I find this approach very fair for everyone involved. Each company has its own way to support a long term development, and liking or not this particular approach goes down to personal preferences. Why so Many DLCs?The Paradox way is to propose a title with a very long term support and finance it with regular updates that come in the form of a substantial free patch coupled with an optional DLC that usually expand the free features introduced in the update.
