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.
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
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.
