After starting with a Crusader Kings 2 sub in February
Last month, Paradox launchedan optional subscription service for Crusader Kings 2which gave access to all its expansions and DLC for a small monthly fee. Now they’re doing the same with another grand strategy game. Yesterday they launched a separate subscription forEuropa Universalis4, once again offering all the expansions and DLC for a price of £4/month. And it’s still optional, they’re still selling stuff separately too.
Paradox previously ran a trial of this EU4 sub service for selected players, andas of yesterdayit’s now available for everyone. For a monthly fee of £4/€5/$5, players get access to the expansions and various content packs, present and future. It’s the same price as a CK2 sub, though EU4’s base game isn’t free like CK2’s is, so you do need that too. That wodge of DLC would currently cost £220 or thereabouts, though obviously some are less important than others and they’re often much cheaper on sale. Still, unless you’re in it for the long haul, a sub might very well be cheap and handy.
Or if you’d rather, you can buy DLC the same way as ever.

Starting a subscription service for CK2 sounded pretty neat, especially given that the base game is free, but I’m less excited to see them start a second scheme for EU4. Might suit people who only want to play one particular game, but myself I’d be way more interested in a single sub covering all Paradox grand strategy games, rather than lots of individual ones. Though considering I don’t subscribe to any game services at the moment, I’m probably not the type of person they’re doing this for. Already got too many damn subscriptions.
