Paradox have today launched the new Season 09 Expansion Pass, which initially launches with the Stargazer Species Portrait. There's stuff that's actually interesting to come though, but you have to wait until May 5th.
I think the base game is quite cheap and there are a handfull of dlcs that are really meaningful, which you still don’t need. Also the base game has gotten updates for at least 5 years now so i think it’s fair. And it works good on Linux.
Edit: It’s from 2016, so no wonder there a lot’s of dlcs. The base game has gotten overhauls in the meantime.
Most of the DLCs are easy cash-grabs with not much value. The base-game is regularly being modified, sometimes improved, sometimes not.
They still have performance issues in late game, Multiplayer sync issues and no ability to change keybindings.
Some major quality of life features are lacking for me.
I love the game, I’ve been playing since release, but I wish they’d put less effort into releasing overpriced DLCs and put more effort in improving the game. I also dislike their DLC subscription model.
The constant changes were what made me decide it was a bad game. One of the reasons I bought it was the different FTL types. Between that the consent planet management changes I couldn’t enjoy the game. add the stupid war score system and I’ve learned to stay away from Paradox.
I pirated it to test it and I really enjoyed it, I went to buy it and the moment I saw over 30 dlcs (around £250) I noped out and never went back.

Yea I get that. For me it was a way of keeping the game fresh, though many of the changes added more micromanagement, which made the game harder.
