I'm not saying that they literally have to use the same files. But they can transfer the purchases.
You're saying remake all the DLCs and not have people pay for it I assume. How the hell are they going to afford that? That's not mentioning they might not want to make identical DLCs, and many of the features from them are included in vanilla now.
They aren't some poor indie devs who are bootstrapping themselves, dude.
When did I say that? I just let you know Paradox aren't the developers like you seem to think. They still need to keep the lights on though. Honestly, tiny indie devs can afford to do crazy things because there are a lot fewer people on the line who need to get paid. The larger the studio, the more careful they have to be. An indie game can run on passion alone.
