Get ready for a new DLC for the grand sci-fi strategy, Stellaris – Stellaris: Grand Archive!

The Galaxy is vast and full of wonders, and it is up to you to store records of all the unique lifeforms and marvels you will meet. Build a new megastructure, and collect examples of specimens you will meet in your space-faring adventures.

That’s not the end of the good news, though – because you can now also get Stellaris: Starter Edition!

Pre-order Stellaris: Grand Archive on GOG!

Recently bought AoW game that was published by Paradox, the game is amazing, developers did top job and the only problem i had with the game was, that it was published by Paradox!
I absolutely hate Paradox Interactive! Had to bypass their stupid launcher and then play the game with internet connection turned off (that i was actually planning to do, but accidentally had internet on when opening the game), otherwise it would load their moronic EULA (3 pages of it!), every single time you opened the game!
Now a game actually made by Paradox, that's scary. Let me guess? same launcher and EULA bullshit, only this time with a million overpriced DLCs! it's a hard pass!

151 specimens to collect (and more available with other DLCs!). Yeah great, so basically you need additional DLCs to make this DLC complete, WTF?! Paradox really need to rethink their absurd DLC policy, and remove their launcher crap! This is getting out of control!

It's intentional. They're counting on the live service subscription fees that grants full access.

Let's face it: every gamer finds their fetish eventually. Some of us are collectors by nature [raises hand], others just find that one game where they need to know the entire story, every bit of the (for them personally) immersive lore. I have a lot of sympathy for people for whom Stellaris is their thing, as currently, the combined price of the base game and all the DLCs is 370 Euro.

Collecting Pokemon? Exactly what I always wanted to see in a 4X space game. Gotta catch 'em all!

Grand Archive? With a name like that, I'd hope that it'd be a collection of the 370 Euro of things into one affordable 60 price package. Like how I wish there was a Sims 2 or 3 Complete edition, instead of Sims 4 Forever.

Grand!

High expectations The Archive will be built around Earth (or at least within Solar System) one day, because HOME.

Yea, FU Paradox and your obnoxious DLC money extortion schemes!

Unfortunately people keep buying them so they continue to churn them out. I refuse to buy any Paradox game that doesn't has the next version already in Pre-Order at least. So I'll buy Stellaris when they release Stellaris 2.

Wottie: the combined price of the base game and all the DLCs is 370 Euro.
I wonder how you got that, as adding the base game and all expansions and going to checkout gives me a total cost under 200 €. And that’s including the new pre-order. It goes down to 140 € if skipping the expansions released in the current year (as they do not get discounts yet).

Sure, that’s still not something that I would have paid in one go. But spanned over several years, and compared to the content that is provided, I think the prices are reasonable.

Yesterday, the Autumn promo hadn't started yet. But I would have added up the base prices anyway, to highlight the asking price.

Good for you. To me, no computer game has ever had such value, but I don't rule out that one day I'll get hooked on something that will have a bazillion DLCs. :) But as I have a big backlog of classic games, before I get to the buying stage with something newer, it usually is clear whether it will have a lot of DLCs - and being the case usually is an instant turnoff for me. So I'd have to buy before they'd start adding loads of content.
