Stellaris’s MegaCorp DLC lets you build game publishers that sell ‘nano-transactions’

MegaCorp is the latest expansion for Stellaris, and as you might have surmised from the title it brings a heaping helping of capitalism to the final frontier. The DLC will let you take command of a corporate empire and conquer the stars all in the name of pleasing shareholders. In addition to a new way to structure your galactic conquest, there’ll be plenty of new opportunities to showcase your wealth and industry across the universe. As a MegaCorp CEO, you’ll have access to a host of new civics. If you’ve got a trade agreement with a rival empire, you can build a Branch Office on their planets, getting a portion of that world’s trade value for yourself. Corporate authority will also let you build game publishers, as director Martin Anward showcases on Twitter. The ‘Virtual Entertainment Studios’ building describes a nightmare future for the game industry, where “using nano-transaction systems and neuro-chemical retention algorithms, these development houses bring the latest in virtual entertainment software into the homes and lives of billions of sapient consumers.”
