On: Clicker Heroes 2 is abandoning free-to-play

[kmonsen]

There are games like EU4 or other paradox games that kind of straddle the barrier. You don't need the DLC, but your game is updated and the AI and all other players you play with has it so your game will get worse over time unless you pony up.

You can all keep playing the updated base game, and they even allow you to pin a specific version if you don't like the updates.

And for multiplayer just 1 player (I think the host) has to have the DLCs, everyone else gets them for free.

And BTW, Cities: Skylines is distributed by Paradox :)

Not quite though; every DLC comes with a patch that everyone gets, with general improvements to the game but you don't get the additional DLC features unless you buy it.
