Tbf is there any game publisher that doesn’t act like this? I like a lot of paradox’s games too, but expecting any company to be the “good” company in the industry is asking for disappointment.
Big publisher? Valve, I guess. Smaller publishers like Coffee Stain, Team 17, and Devolver, etc. seem to be customer focused with their releases. For some reason, at a certain scale of game, the publishers become obsessed with milking their customers instead of being satisfied with a straightforward transaction.
Paradox hates devs as much as it love stringing along its customers. I love the games they put out but Paradox is a blight.

Devolver?
Kitfox Games got Dwarf Fortress published which is miraculous, and they also have Caves of Qud which is celebrating its tenth year of early access

I used to love the games that they put out. Nowadays to be honest I can’t be arsed to play even pirated versions of them.
I still want some competition for the
Liquoria / Bob Ross Universalis / Incest and Murder SimulatorVic / EU / CK series.
