It's just a question out of my curiosity, is gamersgate have anything to do with paradox? Does paradox own/operate gamersgate or do they have any kind of relations? Anybody knows?

See this interview with Fredrik.

What's your relationship like with companies like Valve? I know you're no longer the same company, but you have a historic relationship with [digital distributor] GamersGate.

FW: When I started GamersGate, I went through the process of signing different publishers and travelling throughout the world to reach people. I think, initially, it was kind of an interesting process, because Valve sent this NDA to me saying, "You can't say this and that to our competitors," so I had to email back and say, "You know, I'm still at the board of directors at GamersGate."

But for the past year I've been moving away completely from GamersGate. I'm still a minority owner of 20 percent or so, but I'm not operationally involved at all. GamersGate is doing well on its own, so they don't need me anymore either, so that's good.

The relationship with Valve, from our point of view, is excellent. And the other download portals as well. We work with 17 different portals I think, big and small.

It seems to be a spin off from P'Dox. I can not find out easily if there is any direct relationship (parent - daughter company), but it looks like the shareholders of GG are (ex-) P'Dox employees.

Paradox sort of "started" GamersGate, which then became it's own company, and they have a very good relationship, and just about all "Paradoxians" buy from them, rather then Steam and Impulse.

Right, some digging in the evöl interwebs revealed that both Paradox Interactive AB and Gamersgate AB are daughters of Torchlight Entertainment AB. This means that legally P'Dox & GG are sisters.

If my Swedish would be better I could find out even more... :shifty-eyes:
