Just noticed I:R on sale; 88% off. Cheapest it's ever been(by a fair margin).

Doesn't bode well.

Having said that, I picked up CK2 years ago, ludicrously cheaply ($10 Plentiful Paradox Package through Amazon I believe), and that went on to have a distinguished content & support career.

Though the Paradox of today isn't the same as the Paradox of 2012 :/

I'm curious if any previous games have had active development cease, and then restart?

I got CK2 100% for free a year after release, as I believe Paradox were doing a promotion for early adopters, and gave them free copies to gift or something.
I wonder if something like that would be possible for a revival of Imperator.

Sometime soon after the next March of the Eagles expansion drops.
I unironically want a Sengoku update. Along with the other 2 Sengoku fans out there.
Or I should say I want a Sengoku reskin for CK2(potentially CK3)

There is a pretty big overhaul mod for CK3 set in Japan, I believe in the Sengoku era, you may enjoy looking at that. I think it's called Shogunate.

Under the circumstances, that's probably good though.

Imperator needs players. The biggest hope for Imperator to get more content down the road is if more people play it and enjoy it. If people pick it up because it's heavily discounted and find they enjoy it, then that's more people to talk about it and advocate for it and potentially buy DLC down the line.

A lot of people don't know Imperator is actually good now. The more people get a chance to find out, the better. I still think 2.0 should have been marketed more heavily, but ultimately if discounts are the incentive people need to jump in then that can only help the game in the long run.

Got CK2 for free years and years ago, that started my entire addiction to this genre.
And I do notice a lot of pople actually picking up on Imperator 2.0 being good, specifically on youtube.

Though most youtubers don't make videos on it sadly, since it doesn't rake in the views. Other than DanIsStoned and Lord Lambert I can't even think of anyone right now. But as we all know popular doesn't equal good.

German youtuber Steinwallen has kind of announced in his commenting vid on the development stop that he will do another LP with IR (will be his 3rd) in future - regardless if and when development is resumed. Since he does his LPs in seasons, they stretch over months - so at least the German community can look forward to further IR entertainment :)

I said ages ago the best thing they could do for IR would be to give it away free, they have nothing to lose, it could serve then as a gateway drug to their products, although their products are far less addictive than they used to be.

While I appreciate the sentiment from dnote and from the official paradox reply to my tweet shown above, I simply do not believe development will reconvene with Imperator.

If I am wrong, I will be extatic, and I truly hope I am wrong. But I do not believe I will be.
