I don’t understand how this can happen when PDX experiences positive growth year after year. They’ve become such a large company. Can’t they just hire more people if manpower is such an issue?

They need pr to sell Imperator anew - but that's a tough job.

Every studio is also developing secret projects. He may be working in one.
Love what the game became with 2.0, hell, I even liked it at the launch.
Guess this had to happen. I just wish they gave us one last bow with another major update involving economics and diplomacy.
But, yeah, thanks again for what I think is the best classical era game out there...I'll go and play another 900 hours of it for sure!

I don't think it's a matter can but rather wanting to do it.
I guess this game is not as profitable as the other titles and they decided to focus on more successful game with a larger player base.
Make sense from a business point of view but it's EU:Rome all over again.

Thats really sad news. Imperator is probably one of pdx best games after 2.0.

sadly in the real world, to hire more manpower =/= to more income and profits, moreover when we are speaking bout a product that to PDS is barely profitable, I am not saying that Imperator is a bad game, in fact, it had become one of my favourites of paradox by the concepts/(mechanics the game own but if we loom at the player base, how many videos the game generate in YT and reviews on comparison to other and older PDS games, it is clear to Paradox what would be more profitable to invest their resources, understandable, but I am not on the boat with that.

CKIII - In good shape.
Imperator - Murdered.
HOIIV - Arcadey streamlined trash.
Vicky - Small dedicated fan base - future unknown.
Stellaris - A mess.
EUIV - An absolute dumpster fire.

Terrible, terrible news. The game I was the most optimistic for, and looking forward the most for new content was Imperator after 2.0. Why invest so much great time and resources into revamping the game, only to cut back on development. Very disheartening news.
I felt that the only new generation PDS game that really got the immersion right was Imperator, sad that an excellent example of immersion done right is being stunted.

It's quite telling how the character focused game is the one having the best success.
People might not like this but this is the hard truth. People want engaging stories and characters in their games.

For CK3 if by "in good shape" you mean a game for dummies with no depth that can be left to run on max speed in the background. Absolutely.

This is Anthem Never, PDS style.
Theere's no comeback from this, and there won't be a sequel either, that's dead in the water now.

It would take a brave CEO to revive the IR franchise after what happened. More likely we get a 'new' Rome game after a few years with a different foundational take...

This last week podcast from two Paradox executives, about their long-term commitment to Imperator is 'funny' to hear today:

I agree with all but CK III. It's a barebones game with 2-3 years of development needed to bring it on par with CK II.
The base game is not bad, don't get me wrong. But it becomes quite repetetive after a few games and it's far too easy to blob or play in general. Strategy games without challenges aren't proper strategy games.

There are currently 29 job adverts listed on our site for the three PDS studios. There is no lack of desire to recruit people, but we can't force people to work for us.
PDS is the fastest growing part of the company in these last twelve months and there is no intention to stop growing it.

Sure, but there's space for GSGs too, you cant be saying the genre is dead and only choose your own adventure books with a GUI slapped on top are viable?
