Space 4X sim Stellaris is to receive its next major overhaul in May this year, with changes to the pacing, presentation and systems affecting performance.
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”.

I’m pretty sure they mean The Company Formerly Known As Electronic Arts.
Because Paradox have a track record of buying studios and monetising their games in a similar way that EA monetised Maxis’s The Sims.
Exactly. (I should’ve used its full name, now I get where Madbrad200 got that “early access” thing.)
