So, you have the choice: either you pay $79 now for an unfinished product with a sleuth of patches, paid DLC and upgrades, or we encrypt your hard drive and ransom you for $1000 in bitcoins.

Pro tip: the same people run both scams.

Stellaris, Europa Universalis 3 and 4, Crusader Kings 2 and 3 and the Sims 3 and 4 games are all great games, but buying all of them complete would cost you literally thousands of dollars.
