Paradox Interactive parts ways with Harebrained schemes

This is fukking nuts.

They would need another publishers or do it independently. Shadowrun is a licensed IP

That's right. I keep forgetting it's still a table top.

not a surprise tbh

lamplighter's league was..... not it

i get wanting to develop an IP that was purely their own - they don't control Battletech or Shadowrun - but with LL they just didn't understand the assignment

That's wild how they just signed them and destroyed the studio due to 1 failure. I feel if you're going to acquire a company then there should be long-term plans, and it shouldn't be 1 failure and you're out.

Also, isn’t this their first non-kickstarter game since?

i doubt its 'one' failure. probably more of a.... "we told yal this was a bad idea - but if you go ahead with it, you're gonna hold that" from the start

and tbh - if they're nothing without the shadowrun and battletech IPs, then they shouldn't have them

Agreed, business wise it's best to drop them than to waste resources. However, it's still messed up to acquire them and not have a long-term plan.

Paradox low key a scummy ass company with its overkill DLC and empty ass demos aka full games.

I play a lot of Paradox titles, but have no idea what this game is
