The Dark Age of Paradox Interactive: What exactly happened to one of PC gaming’s best publishers?

Paradox Interactive is a Swedish publisher known for its creativity and innovation in PC gaming, particularly in grand strategy. The company has faced challenges, including multiple delays for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, negative feedback leading to the refund of the first DLC for Cities: Skylines 2, and the cancellation of Life By You. Prison Architect 2 has also experienced indefinite delays. In the second quarter of 2024, Paradox reported a 90% drop in operating profit. Following a leadership transition in 2018, Fredrik Wester returned as CEO to refocus the company. Internal issues, including a culture of mistreatment towards female employees, have prompted changes for a more inclusive environment. Paradox has established Paradox Arc to explore innovative ideas while maintaining its core franchises.
