Now that the DLC policy Paradox has followed has been around for a while, I'm wondering what the plan is for older DLCs?

For example, Sword of Islam and Wealth of Nations are both over 4 years old, but are still priced at or above $10 on Steam.

Most of the hate directed at EA started with them keeping DLC prices for old DLC at such a level.

I'm therefore wondering what Paradox's plans are for the older DLC and its price points as the years tick by.
 
I mean Nintendo doesn't ever change prices on their games and they are a pretty beloved company, I don't think not lowering prices (and I mean, we get 75% off pretty frequently, so we can't really complain about the prices imo) is reason that EA is hated to begin with or that Paradox should 'have to' do anything.
 
It's been several years since anything but the base game has been 75% on Steam, even during big sales.
 
Nintendo is a widely hated company, usually given to how they treat people on youtube; but nintendo goes out of its way to keep its prices as low as it can to ensure the poorer gamer can afford their stuff.

For every new DLC the price of a complete game goes up and up.

I'm sure when they set the price of a DLC they've probably not taken more than 4 years of revenue on that product into account.

Frankly I'd like to see the oldest DLCs reduced to $1-$2 to keep the total cost of a package that includes all the DLCs low. OR. And perhaps this is a better idea from a sales standpoint. Offer a fixed-cost package that includes all the DLCs that does not change as more DLCs are added so that new players have a permanent price ceiling attached to each game.
 
What if they pull a CK2 and give the base game for free? It sure did wonders for it. That way people don't have to spend so much on said DLC

Yes, it's 50%, which is the most DLC has been off for the last several years. But it used to be up to 75% off on the older material.

The hatred for EA comes from ruining game franchises they ruined. That was even before DLCs were a thing.
