Thoughts on the new DLC and the future of Empire of Sin?

[makslaskabata2]

Haven't personally played the new expansion, but was simply willing to hear your opinions on it.
Also, on a secondary note, what do you think will happen to Empire of Sin in the future? Will it recieve expansions and updates and the sort?

When it comes to future DLC, the most likely answer is “Very unlikely to happen, unless the new DLC brings in a large influx of new players.”

It’s something of a miracle that the promised second DLC even got made after Romero Games left (and on their way out, openly insulting players who still wanted the second DLC), forcing Paradox into the very difficult situation of having to find a way to replace the ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT TEAM.

They technically DO now have developers who could continue if they wanted. But after the development hell they went through, I can’t imagine them continuing unless they get new players to convince them it’s worth it to keep going.

It's just some poor intern or something making the update so Paradox doesn't get sued down eventually for the missing DLC.

I had the game in my steam library for about 3 years. I was one of the peoples who preorder it upon launch and basically got scammed when the developers ran. So I essentially demanded back money from steam and got it successfully a claim for it since it's no point in trying any of paradox games on launch since the development cycle is usually before the end of last dlc before the game is actually in a playable state.

With record of Romero games having several good games under their hood like Jagged Alliance for example it was no brainer this game was also going to be good with the premises shown. I think I dodged a bullet with a refund of this game as it essentially was a broken. Even if some of the modders a sign of saving this game.

I might look into to this game once more if it gets to cook for awhile with the new developers. But I'm quite sure its not going to go well since the dlc was a barbone of just more problems introduced.
