You would give more money to Paradox but you would still get a steam key at the end.

Stellaris |OT| No Blorg, no buy
But yeah, "Make Space Great Again" is the real answer.
Perfect reference!
Stellaris | Ad Astra
Stellaris | One Giant Leap for Paradox
Stellaris | A still more glorious game
Yeah it has to be this.
Brilliant thanks - I actually like playing things through steam for the convenience so that's a win win for me. I just wanted to make sure Paradox got the most out of my purchase.

Amazing suggestion. I plan on getting this game but I'll wait and see if the launch is at least playable, can't deal with a broken mess right now.

It's a quote from one of the best Star Trek TNG episodes (if not the single best).

Comet Sighted actually is an event in Stellaris btw.

I think it is their "trademark" event, there is one in Victoria 2, CK2 and EU4 atleast. Is there one in Hearts of Iron?

There is one in HoI3 apparently. Not sure if that is the case for 4, but I asked someone who might know.

I remember the episode, but is there a connection to the game? Is there a Shaka in there somewhere or anything?

Have they talked about difficulty settings yet? I didn't see any in the videos (except the advanced start for a number of empires).
EUIV and CK2 doesn't really need any because of the asymmetrical starts. But in Stellaris everyone starts equal, so it would be pretty impossible to balance the game to be fun for a newbie and advanced player at the same time without any difficulty setting like in Civ.
And the wars shown on the stream looked pretty easy ... so I wonder if the game will be challening enough for people who enjoy Immortal/Deity Civ.

I vote Comet Sighted.
You can choose at the beginning of the game to give some empires a head start in resources, tech, planets etc. Would be cool if they let you customize it a bit.
And they said wars were too easy due to some bugs, apparently warscores are still being worked on.

I think they'll probably add modifiers/bonuses at some point for difficulty options like in Europa Universalis. For example in EU:IV on easy you get a bonus to things like reduced national unrest, war exhaustion, etc. I don't play it on easy or hard, normal is always just right for me.
Edit: I just checked in EU:IV, these are the difficulty modifiers/bonuses. I'm sure there'll be something like this in Stellaris at some point for those that want it.
Edit 2: I see that tooltip by Sickboy007 says that they get no modifiers, wonder if that's a final decision or just one temporarily. Either way the best way to play is without any bonuses/modifiers IMO.

This is real good.

Cut this down to Nerd Souls and we may have a winner.
I put all my stability behind this one.
