I have all Stellaris content until Megacorp(including). I've invested nearly 1500 hours into the game.



BUT...



I was hugely disappointed by the lack of testing, balancing and bugs that Megacorp introduced in the game and the time it took the dev team to work out the most critical issues(for some late game bugs, it took them 3 months).



After Megacorp, I promised myself that I will not buy more Stellaris content, until I know it is worth it. I'm actively NOT recommending the game with my friends that play such type of games. I feel Paradox are trying to deceive and lie to me, that are delivering a good product, like other AAA publishers do these days and this fuels my bad attitude towards the publisher.



This week I decided that I might check out the new mineral eating race. After watching 2 lets plays that encountered pretty bad bugs, reading the forums and following the twitter profile for months, I came to the following conclusion:



1. The new content has not been tested once again and is not ready for play.

2. There are gameplay issues, balances and bugs, that are still persistent since Megacorp.

3. Paradox went to make a console version and a mobile game on stellaris, instead of working on the game itself.

4. With all the issues they have now, how am I suppose to buy the winter expansion?!



I write this because I feel hurt and sorry for the Stellaris dev team. And I know there are many other people like me, that were hardcore supporters of the franchise and yet, were left disappointed.



This has to be said!
