paradox is pretty much in full recovery mode at the moment, they've released sooo many broken games, I don’t even need to use any bad words, just simply broken games. now you'd be fine assuming these games were just dev passion projects but that just isn't case, their biggest franchise game (cities skylines) was such a broken game that it took down both player bases from 1 and 2. 2 is still a mess regardless of all the patches they've done, it shouldn't have been released in the state that it was... and then there was lamplight, boy... what a waste, then they somehow, i cant even begin to imagine how, they took stellaris, gave it a lobotomy and branded it "star trek infinte".. now they're rightfully being extremely careful about what game they release next coz pdx just cant keep taking any more losses.
The articles linked in this thread said they already are looking at a 20 million dollar write off, that's a lot of money for an unfinished game. An they aren't EA or Rockstar with massive money to outlay like that.
Paramount literally did it twice in a year, "lol".
If you start a project with the intention of cancelling it, you save way less money by deducting the expenses form your income than you would if you just never bothered to start it in the first place.
If you ask me, Life By You getting outright canned is learning the lesson TOO well, and going too far in the other direction.
I think there was a similar game to that, but based on the Alaskan Gold Rush? It was sort of like Oregon Trail in a few ways.

What's the latest from The Lamplighter League? Haven't heard about that one in awhile.
