things you fear paradox can do? :P

[makaramus]

You can write anything to here.
lootboxes? politics? too few politics?
Fantasy themes in historical games?
or maybe eu4 battle royale dlc? XD
I just wanted to know what kind of community I am inside.

 

[elektrizikekswerk]

No Victoria 3.

 

[Eldoran]

Developing and releasing new versions of established ips and then lock some features behind a payed dlc to finance the development in order to pay their staff.

And then getting accused of being evil for their inappropriate request to pay for the dlc. I mean how can they dare to release a free update, which i dont like cause the coolest stuff is payed dlc. An then the price is to high for the content of the dlc. How dare they.

Back in the old days the game were released...1-3 addons for 50-75 % of the full game were released and then the game was abandoned after max 3 yrs.

On a serious note:

the worst pds can do in my eyes is focusing too much on eye candy and stuff so that performance is horrible on my old machine. Stellaris is sadly an example that goes towards this trend...hope i:r has a better performance

 

[fr-rein]

No Victoria 3.

This.

 

[Aotrs Commander]

Be somehow bought out and consumed by Unicronic Arts after being forced to stop making all current gaems and to make poorly-designed online-only shooters of whatever is the Current Thing.

Not so much a "fear" as a hypothetical worst-case scenario, though.

PDX are currently one of the few companies I still am prepared to give the benefit of the doubt to.



Also, isn't CK2's Shattered World kind of a bit like a strategic battle royale already...? (Or Stellaris, with advanced starts and Fallen Empires turned off...?)

Haha yeah thought that too. Stellaris especially cause endgamecrisis could be considered as equivalent to the worldmap becoming smaller in battle royale :》

 

[Wenceslaus II.]

The perfect game






that my pc won't be able to run...

 

[SirAlexius]

The worst they could do would be to make a game about the Roman Republic and release it just a few days after the anniversary of the founding of Rome.

I would also say that regular EU4 is already a battle royale game, particularly in multiplayer.

 

[Woifee]

Sell to EA!

And of course no Vic3.

Both equally bad.

 

[yapxingguan]

The worst fear is that the higher-ups will get replaced by MBA graduates who know next to nothing about programming that goes EA on everyone and lays off all the veteran programmers for a bigger piece of the pie, replaces them with contractors, part-timers, and interns who'll just half-ass everything.

 

[Telenil]

Selling themselves to a large studio that will attempt to leverage more profit by publishing more games and decreasing the trademark years-long support of the games.

I like you Paradox. Please don’t change (unless it’s to make the DLCs less buggy on release. That would be fine.)

 

[Wenceslaus II.]

(unless it’s to make the DLCs less buggy on release. That would be fine.)

But that's where the most fun is.

 

[Lolofik]

Adding a paid subscription for their products.

So true and funny too.

 

[sortulv]

Becoming obsessed with the chance of making changes to their products, to the degree that nothing remains stable, and the tech debt just keeps growing with each release.
Just prioritizing new features over polishing existing ones.

Still single threading AI after 30 years in the grand strategy business

 

[Wenceslaus II.]

Still single threading AI after 30 years in the grand strategy business

*sigh* Why would they go back to it?

 

[orochi2k]

In 2050, an emerged new party appeared across the globe, elected in most of democratic countries.
They declared war on all others with different CBs which are totally just.
Their government policies may sometimes seems incredibly ridiculous, but they are effective and secretly iterated and improved by the wisdom of millions who paid them to do this job.
Their force is unstoppable as their commanders have been trained for decades in deep strategy games. They can even teleport from troops to troops.
As a result, they united the earth in the end.
And then, they launched their champion into the space to fulfill a prophecy they made long long ago...


And that's Paradox's next grand strategy AR game set in the near future which you can hardly tell if it is real or virtual

 

[Wenceslaus II.]

What prophecy?
