Paradox has removed a Stellaris mod which altered the game’s human race to be entirely made up of white characters with European names.
This mod, which was creatively titled ‘European Phenotype and Names Only (White Humans)’, is no longer available to download via the Steam Workshop.
“We embrace the idea that players mod the game to best represent how they want to play, we do NOT however wish to enable discriminatory practices.
“We shipped the game originally with an accurate representation of humans, that is to say diverse in both ethnicity and personality,” a Paradox spokesperson told Eurogamer.
