The main thing that keeps me away from Stellaris (and all Paradox games) is the stupid amount of DLC content.

When a game makes me feel like I have to spend some stupid amount to buy all 30 different dlcs just to get the whole game, then I just avoid the game entirely. If I see a steam page and the dlc list is the longest section on the page then I just close it down.

That's why they also offer a monthly subscription these days. Play it with all the DLC without owning any of it for 10 to 5 bucks a month (depending on how many months you subscribe for). Way cheaper if you don't already own all of it and only want to play it for a while.
