Idk why you're commenting on threads from 2 years ago, but you have it backwards. Additive gives diminishing returns while multiplicative will always be linear.

Take your 50% example. With an additive 50% bonus, the total comes to 100%, 2x more than the original value. With a multiplicative 50% the total goes to 75%, 1.5x the original value.

With 100%, an additive 50% bonus bring it to 150%, 1.5x the original. Multiplicative 50% also brings it to 150%, 1.5x the original.

With 150%, 50% additive goes to 200%, 1.333x the original. 50% multiplicative goes to 225%, 1.5x the original.

As you can see, in the additive case the relative bonus diminishes as the base amount grows, while the relative bonus for the multiplicative case remains constant.
