Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

As I posted in The Groginati Sales Thread, there are 28 DLC for Crusader Kings II costing a total of $141.29 U.S. So offering the base game free is just good marketing. Personally I'd rather they reduced the price of the DLC 75%.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

The Dlc is heavily discounted during major sales.

When it gets down to 75% off, I will pounce on it. :)

Only half of those 28 are actual expansions to the game.  The rest of what is listed as DLC isn't needed.  It's content packs, Portraits, e-Books, etc.  The total for the actual expansions is $83.91.  All of the expansions are 50%, except for Jade Dragon, which came out last year, and it's 33% off.

This really isn't a bad deal.  And, with the base game being free, you could start with that, and decide if you like it or not before you invest in any DLC.

I was coming in to post on this. This game is about #3 in hours played for my massive steam catalogue.

TBH, you will likely want to get the DLC's, or several of them. Kind of like HOI4. If you have an interest, I would bite the bullet.

Same with Victoria II...GREAT paradox game, but lots and lots of time needed to master the mechanics.

I'm thinking on the last three expansions - Conclave, Mystics, Reaper's and a few cosmetics. That price tag isn't bad at all.

I am honestly surprised they didnt do this sooner. I wonder if they will do this with other titles.

I saw so many gamers swear allegiance to this game - how great it was.

It never struck a single chord with me. I just wasn't into it in the slightest. Being free is absolutely no temptation for me. But you guys go mental  O0

I didn't get that either, so I put it down to a language barrier and let it slide.

Sounds kind of bad though.  :idiot2:

Ok at least I'm not the only one thinking it is a strange way of describing something
