    Wut?
    https://steamdb.info/app/715194/ 50%
    https://steamdb.info/app/614580/ 50%
    https://steamdb.info/app/547502/ 50%
    https://steamdb.info/app/420610/ 50%
    etc.

    But please, show me one major expansion that’s been more than 50% off? Also, this would assume that everything would go 50% off, which isn’t even true as many things have not been on sale at all, or only on tiny ones that don’t affect the price much.

    And stop the “gameplay” argument, as if “cosmetic” content is irrelevant. It’s an even dumber argument to make in a game that’s literally all about building pretty cities, not that it is a good one in other games either.

      one major expansion

      here’s three, two if you want to be pedantic about campus (who am I kidding, of course you will be)

      https://steamdb.info/app/715191 60%

      https://steamdb.info/app/369150 66%

      https://steamdb.info/app/944071 60%

      have not been on sale at all

      The number of DLCs that have not been on sale can probably be counted on a single hand. I haven’t checked through all of them but I only found 2 when looking at the 10 most recently released ones (you know, the ones least likely to get a sale)

      And stop the “gameplay” argument, as if “cosmetic” content is irrelevant

      It is a valid argument. You won’t ever actually need most of the cosmetic packs, even if you do there is the workshop as a free alternative. And besides there are also the radio stations which don’t even impact the look of your city and can be omitted entirely without losing anything of value.

        Well lucky us, we can now shave a couple bucks off of the three digit price tag because two of them are 10% cheaper than I thought. I suddenly can now afford it all! Who would’ve thought? /s
        The only one being pedantic here is you, thinking this would change anything about the point made. But thanks for the irony.

        Yeah, just like you can count the amount of discount on one hand.

        Ah, the good old “the modders will fix it” argument to defend the actual developers & publishers continuing to do this shit.

      Ok keep being angry and keep your fomo for missing tiny bits behind a paywall, i will enjoy the base game a few handpicked dlcs and tons of mods.

      Your claim was that Paradox max discount is 50% so have a look at cs1 base games and bundles.

        We’re talking about their DLC. If your attention span loses contextually important information this quickly then you should simply not hold any sort of discussion with people at all. Same goes for your elitism / asocial tendencies.
