Until the toxic community is addressed, I would not recommend this game.

Alot of people are posting about price change grumbles seem to forget a key piece of information. Alot of other publishers/developers RELEASE their game at 60$ with "bonus packages" up to 100$ on average. This game was released at 40$ with promises of constant patches and free+paid content releases.

It's over a year after release, and this game has almost fundamentally changed in mechanics. This has been completed through plenty of FREE content releases and I have enjoyed hundreds of hours of gameplay with this game. There are other games who have FUNDAMENTAL pieces of their game broken at launch and takes months to patch them to a playable state.

Stellaris has been one of the best performing games of the 4X genre. I've had similar titles be almost unplayable the further into playthroughs I progress. The bugs with this game have been almost negligible to a solid playthrough (i.e. not crashing consistently) and none have made me want to stop playing the game.

I highly reccommend supporting this developer with the purchase of their game. They have been attentive to their game long after release and consistently improve their product where alot of publishers these days cash in on their games then abandon them completely to move on to the next cash cow.
