Full headline, because just look at that gargantuan monster: "Steam has changed its policy on DLC content and season passes, so now players are entitled to proper compensation if future plans fall through: 'Customers will be offered a refund for the value of unreleased DLC'"
As just one example, the article mentions Stellaris. The main reason I have never bought anything to do with Stellaris is because every time I see it go on sale for 75%/$9.99 USD or whatever, I'm inevitably reminded that that's just for the "base game," and the DLC will still be way too expensive, even at half off or more. Like, right now, with just the very basic 10% "bundle discount," the "Stellaris Ultimate Bundle" is fucking $290.49 USD. All the DLC separately (some of which isn't, amazingly, in the "ultimate bundle") is $359.74 USD. And that $359.74 doesn't even include the "normal" $39.99 price tag for the "base game." The DLC/season pass situation of Stellaris is completely asinine.
Anyway, good on Steam for doing this, I guess.
