Oddity with "Paradox Grand Strategy Collection"

Open
MisterWuh

Hey Steamgifters!

I´m here to ask if anyone knows what´s going on with this one. The mouseover on the PDX-Con Page on Steam clearly says "Includes 4 items: bla bla + Hearts of Iron 4", yet whenever i open it through a german ip it refuses to show HoI 4 in the bundle (using a proxy, US or French, yields the expected results, i.e. HoI 4 included).

I´ve read they had to make a seperate germanized version without Swastikas and some other shit, and i realize that could very well be the culprit, but i simply refuse to believe they´re too lazy making a seperate bundle with the german version of HoI 4 included to be offered in germany :E

Here´s a little sumfin for your troubles.

You are right, it should be in that bundle. Yet you don't pay too much, as the price adapts to the content included in the bundle.
They could have fixed it, but there is no point in reaching out to them for a sale that will end in less than 3 hours.

This isn't always the case. If it says four items and isn't displaying them all it could well still be charging for all four. The Half-Life Valve bundles have had pricing errors ever since these newer bundle types were introduced.

They forgot to include German version of it in bundle. Due to way new bundles work, you'll need to include all regional versions in same bundle, otherwise it won't appear in those regions. Good news is you won't be charged for it, but also won't be able to get discount.

Paradox are slowly yet steadily climbing in my supervillain ranking ... all the while they do some fantastic things like Stellaris or refining Battletech with their magic formulae :E

I don't think they are slowing climbing the supervillain ranking: I think they are already there.

Btw, Battletech was produced by the guys of Shadowrun: Returns, they just published.

I know, but playing Battletech you´ll clearly see the paradox influx, like random events etc. - it´s something i had´nt expected from a turn based strategy game. Also blown out of the water by HBS! I´ll definately be playing Shadowrun sometime, even if it turns out not to be like the SNES one :)

Their Shadowrun trilogy is a standard cRPG with tactical turn-based combat trying to emulate the latest Shadowrun rulebooks (which is easy, since the company is owned by the guy who invented Shadowrun :)).

Interesting, I'll give it a try.
You should def try the shadowrun trilogy. If possible, play them in order of release.
