I'm sure it won't help us for this issue, but hopefully we'll never be kept in limbo like this again thanks to Steam changing their rules.

Amusing that the two examples given are both published by Paradox.

While it's not too common, there are a few games out there that have stumbled at the hurdle of DLCs. The first DLC that Cities: Skylines 2 released, the Beach Properties packs managed to really rile up players who thought that $10/ £8.49 for some buildings and new trees was a complete ripoff. Then there's Stellaris, which has $200 worth of DLCs. The sheer amount of content here can be tricky for players to untangle, and it's hard to know what is worth buying and what isn't.

Really hoping it applies here @TinyWiking

Also - just noticed they changed the developer name on the steam page. Not familiar with the company, but maybe this is a positive sign (not ready to give Paradox any credit - after 4 year, anything short of an actual release or solid release date means they are still failing their customers/gamers).

Here is the company now listed on Steam. Would love to know if anyone is familiar with them -

Having a new dev make the expansion would satisfy us, but if they actually want to continue the game afterwards (which if this flops they wont), then they will have to explain how Romero designs and makes everything for their games. Basically, what I am saying is that the design philosophy will likely heavily change with this new dev, and some people might legitimately like the current direction more than anything else.

I think there is zero chance of this game being continued after the expansion finally arrives. This is a hot coal waiting to be dropped. Firstly, Paradox are presumably having to pay someone to deliver on what Romero should have completed themselves and secondly, hardly anyone plays this game and most of the people griping about the lack of dlc are those who have already bought it.

I know the last DLC will just be a small bandaid to fulfill contractual obligations and is unlikely to add any real value - and that it will close the door on the game forever, but if a miracle were to happen and they continued to support Empire of Sin, I would likely continue to buy (but not pre-buy :)) the content.

I really enjoyed this game for a period of time. It still has some huge holes and some systems are pretty much completely busted (mostly the economic management), but I always thought there was potential for a truly amazing experience. I would love things like additional gangsters or additional territories (would have loved seeing a NYC or Las Vegas map/scenario, as examples) - or even new eras other than prohibition.

I really hated when they stopped support (and not just because they owe me money).

The dream scenario would be for Paradox (who I assume owns the IP now) to get a real (and, just as important, reliable) developer to make EoS2 (will never happen, I know).

A DLC is never late, nor is it early- it arrives precisely when it means to.

Even the Mafia would be impressed with how long this con has lasted.

So the year is 2025.... 5 years after the game was released and now a few months after we are told dlc 2 will be released Nov '24.... Yet we are all still waiting and still no word.
