You can use the steam console to revert to earlier versions. I think they blocked the ability to revert to pre-GDPR builds, but I don't think the post-GDPR ones are blocked.

They didn't block the ability, you just have to have a Paradox forum account to do so, iirc.

Basically you have to log in and consent to certain levels of monitoring, per the GDPR, in order to get the old versions. Those old versions didn't have that consent built into the EULA or communicated in any way so they lock it behind a new consent form. At least that is my understanding

[Cruxador]

I'm fine with that. It means I only have to relentlessly exterminate criminal megacorps, rather than literally every last one of them.

Personally, I prefer nuance.

Stellaris is not a nuanced game

What delineates "your" planets from "our" planets? Merely words and an easily broken social contract. The Hive is under no obligation to honor your claim to resources that The Hive could utilize more efficiently.

STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM
MULTIPLE THIRD PARTY CLAIMANTS HAVE FLAGGED YOU FOR VIOLATING THE N.A.P.^tm. DWAMAK MERCENARIES WILL BE EN ROUTE TO REPOSSESS YOUR STATE AS COMPENSATION TO THE AGGRIEVED MULTIPLE THIRD PARTY CLAIMANTS. DUE TO ONGOING PROCESSING OF YOUR CASE, WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING APPEALS AS OF THIS MOMENT. WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

The Hive understands and laughs condescendingly. We would like you to know that whether you are accepting appeals at this time has no bearing upon your ability to avoid collision with said appeals~

Thanks, Wiz.

[MorleyDev]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, a few hours now. Ya know, I'm oddly excited all things considered.

I guess the most important question now is figuring out what to do for a first run with the new systems.

I'm thinking either "Lucky Star Casino", Tomb World humanity lead by a "Courier Six" after the House ending of New Vegas, or "Starspawn of Cthulhu", as a Subversive Cult.

I really wanted to call in at work today over this, which has never happened to me over any other game before.  But I'm a good boy so I dragged my butt out of bed and went anyway, and am merely wasting time posting this and reading up on it.

I'm no longer sure how I'm going to play at first.  I love that they're adding mega corporations to the game, but I don't have much interest in playing one.  I wanted to do a Life-Seeded and Inward Perfection run, but after looking at how good the new Technocracy civic looks, I really want to use it.  Trouble is, I want to keep Life-Seeded and Inward Perfection and don't want to just add Technocracy later with my third civic slot since it looks like that might actually cause significant economic changes by removing some amenities production from your leaders.

Decisions, decisions.

I was also debating not buying MegaCorp until after a patch or two, since it's probably going to be hilariously buggy, but I really want the new mega structures it adds...

UPON REVIEW OF THE SIZE OF YOUR APPEAL, WE AT MEGACORP HAVE FOUND YOUR OCCUPATION OF THE BOLACK STAR SYSTEM TO FALL WITHIN OUR FAIR USE CLAUSE. THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING WITH MEGACORP

[Broseph Stalin]

Not sure whether I'm going to jump straight into criminal megacorp or do a standard Commonwealth run to check out the new systems. May flip a coin.

[Rolan7]

I'm definitely doing a more "normal" run first to check out the new mechanics.  I'm excited to play as a megacorp sometime soon, but the game's changed so much (particularly since I haven't been following the specifics too closely).

so excite

I might pick up the DLC today or in a couple days, depending on how much time I get with the new mechanics.  And how badly I want a ecumeno...polis?  A Coruscant

[Broseph Stalin]

I hereby move that we exclusively refer to a ecumenopoli as Coruscants. 

[Teneb]

It's out, fellow profiteers.

Onwards, to exploit the stars and experience bugs.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

My first impressions:
1) Damn does this feel wonderful to play.
2) Holy hell is the local market convenient in the game start.  I can run a massive deficit in one area (energy) and so long as the rest keep up, I can keep afloat through selling things off for a short bit of time.
