Games are usually played on normal or fast. Other players can also pause however it's generally considered bad manners to pause unless something extremely critical is happening. The host adjusts the speed and can pause the game. As a general rule don't be a dick to the host as he can kick you. EG if a friend asks you to jump in to help him beat back an end game disaster he probably won't be too impressed if you immediately back stab him.
This is usually decided by the host and some people will have rules/expectations of what you can/can't do to other players and what happens if you get eliminated. People will either play competitively or co-operatively. The list doesn't have any information about the empires so it's a good idea to ask the host to recommend an empire otherwise you risk starting as a 1 planet vassal of a much larger empire. Doesn't matter) then you select which empire you're playing as from a list. If the host is resuming a saved game (can be a saved multiplayer or single player game. If the host is starting a new game all players get a chance to design their own empires. Usually through steam invites but there is a lobby where you can search for games (if I see a friend playing Stellaris I usually just ask if I can join). But suddenly making it a requirement so I can keep using your services feels like a big "FUCK YOU" to me - even when that's probably not the intention.1 player hosts and other players join. If you want my data it's okay if you're upfront about it so I can make the decision if it's worth it. Presumably you now have to register a (free) paradox account to play Stellaris in mp? If so I will say that I'm certainly in the minority here but I've definitely quit games for less.
Which is certainly valid, but is there a good reason not to do this right from the start then?Īlso I'm not 100% sure what the issue is, because I already have an account and nothing changed for me. I mean, there's also a case to be made, that the devs just don't want pirates to get away with their shit - which is another reason to do this even if it has no financial upsides (more sales). I'd be interested if anyone had numbers on this? So it stands to reason an opposite effect exists as well, people who will not buy your game because of this.īased on my intuition (which isn't worth shit in this regard) both cases exist and are really rare. On the other hand, having to sign up (even for free) is something that makes some people very hesitant to use your products. But if they stand to gain from spending the money (aside from a clear conscience) there's at least some people who'll do it. If someone is using a pirated copy of the game and can play multiplayer there is no incentive to actually buy the game.
