maybe is time to rethink DLC policy

The current DLC system is, in my opinion, going to be unsustainable in a few months. Why? Because instead of two, there are going to be four games getting 3 DLC (+ extras) each per year. No matter if you love the DLC system or hate, it is probably the more expensive to keep up in the market. Most of us like to keep the game up-dated and play with the last expansions in each game. However I fear that by adding 2 new games with the same DLC policy, is going to be too much. So that's why I'am suggesting a different approach for the older games. Instead of a 4 month cycle, a 6month cycle for CK2 and EU4. While the newer games should keep the old model, I think that the older games should focus on DLC for polishing , with a bit more content than the normal ones (similar to the expansions of old) simply put, I don't think it would be a big change in pdx earnings, but it will also bring a higher standard for DLC probably making the games to remain competitive for more time

He is suggesting breaking each DLC down even further and selling each unlock separately. For example, instead of buying Mare Nostrum entirely he would let you pay 5 for Condotierri, 5 for Merchant Republic stuff, 5 for Berber raids, and so on...

That would not be good for the consumer though.. Its a small step from 'reroll new ruler' for 0,5$.
