Yeah, every hoi4 DLC has significantly improved the game, especially NSB which included the most important part, reworked supply, as a free update, HOI4 without the DLCs is amazingly playable and multiplayer only requires one person to have them all. Every DLC has redditors complaining, that's what single-BIPOCs do, but on the whole every DLC has been good to very good and gamechanging. It's not like in EU4, because in hoi4 there's an actual game to build upon.

The only "bad" hoi4 DLC is Trial of Allegiance, but it's more pointless rather than bad, the content itself is not poorly made.

Also, it wasn't really all that cheaper when they made only a few DLCs, the Victoria collection on steam costs 100+ dollars at full price. Overall, the modern games are a better deal. EU4 is a completely different situation to hoi4, mostly cuz it's a map painter and not an actual game so the DLCs are really minimal.

I can't imagine anything more homo than gooning to images of strong men fighting, alone late at night

Hoi4 literally uses steam servers for multiplayer lol, the only pirated multiplayer you can do is creamy.

>In a game where average match can take dozens of hours why would you even want to play with randos?

What is lil bro yapping about, they take 6 hours tops 4 hours average. Anyway, because it's fun and competitive and only one team has to be randos. It's not like you just join some random lobby from the server list, these things steam organized before hand, we even organize some here on the site. You very clearly know nothing about hoi4 MP

Pirating the whole shit like this is just completely counter productive to playing multiplayer, only the host needs the DlCs anyway.
