How do we decide what new features and fixes go into an expansion?

It's very simple: first, we collect the quality of life improvements and lock them behind the non-free part of the DLC. I mean, you can always play the base game, right? Stop complaining.

Then we add some visuals, because kids love to pay their parents' money for something that looks cool. If I think that we used to hire historians... what loosers we were my God! oh well... it's the past now.

In the end we play around, EU4 style. We add 1% here, +10 something there... people swallow everything.

I've written all of this, but you've only looked at what reassures you: the videos, the memes. Yes, we are like you. We aren't a simple business like many others, doing videogames for money, no... we do them because we like you. Seen the videos? We are as stupid and silly as you. There's nothing wrong $20 in being stupid 25$ and silly, absolutely. Beat 20$ everybody who says 15$ otherwise, don't let people $30 tell you to be smart, never. Now go $25 out there, and buy $35 our new game window.
