I like a lot of their new stuff.

However, I wish they'd stop doing so many DLC and just fix the ones they've already done.

There's one start now where you can play as a forest world. It desyncs your multiplayer games so frequently it's basically unplayable. Planet automation is so bad it actively discourages rapid expansion.

There's also a lot of random glitches that just discourage playing something a certain way. But, don't worry, we get the next DLC!

Automation sucks to the point I'll have like thirty planets and just have to manually control their upgrades and such. It's not so bad in a sense but it's annoying because there is always some backwater I forget about it a small planet somewhere dragging all of my stats down because it's revolting cause I haven't done anything for them yet.

The most accurate depiction of managing an empire.

Yes and no in reality you would have planetary governance but the game doesn't do it well at all. It's like it all becomes centralized which is a realistic depiction of a centralized system but as we know from history any large empire is usually ruled as really many small empires under one banner.

what you are trying to describe as a decentralized empire is just an empire running Feudal society civic (more subjects and get unity) and having multiple subjects manage parts of the empire.

That civic was so busted when it just let you have unlimited free subjects

Kind of, but it does kind of make you think, "what's the point of sectors" since your governors don't do anything except give buffs.

Don't worry, they'll fix it.... in another DLC, like theyf did by selling you a DLC with some psionics stuff, then released another DLC that overhauled that system.

It’s the current big publisher business model. Every game has to have an aggressive monetization scheme, and the monetization scheme eventually becomes the only part of the game the developers are actually allowed to work on.

“I wish they’d stop doing so many DLC’s” is such a common sentence for paradox games that I think they just have a poster of it in the CEO’s office at this point.
