There's tons of metro systems that are mostly above ground or elevated, but no one calls them subways. Isn't a lot of the NYC system above ground too? At least that's what I remember from Spider-man.

Hopefully paradox never makes a mobile game again. although a CYOA style game based on ck2 could be fun

He’s just doing it for attention, ignore him. So did Paradox expect this to be received well? Or just not as poorly as this?

i assume that the corporate people assumed it would play well because why else would they make the product? it might just be geared at a different market.

Mobile games are so insanely cheap to put out. You liscense a title to a Chinese dev, they do it for pennies, and you put your title on it. The margins are huge and it's honestly gonna become a plague for niche gaming like paradox because stockholders are gonna want what brings in the dough.

make stellaris mobile so on its face bad that it gets bad press and from then on use that bad press as a reason to stay away from more mobile gaming that's probably not what happened but it'd be hilarious if it was

As funny as it is to clown on Pdox for getting a BIG MOBILE GAME REVEAL!! This game just isn't for the core base. It brings in cash from casual mobile gamers and whales. As a business decision it's sound. Low risk, almost no maintenance and huge reward. Barely even takes company time since it's all outsourced. Still, I hate it and it gives me HIV (the virus that causes AIDS). I think the real reveal will be CK3. If I'm wrong quote this post and post a picture of something small while going "that's your dick".

tbh pdox prolly would have made a mobile game regardless if they went public or not, its absurdly profitable for the amount of effort it takes and I hope the funds from the 2000 or so whales that drop 5 figures a year on it go towards Victoria 3

Something like a very stripped-down CK2 that focuses entirely on the character mechanics in one country could be interesting. There are lots of mechanics in Paradox games that could be broken out of their respective games and expanded upon to make cool mini-games.

Paradox Studio development is completely focussed on the Clausewitz engine. For the other games they own studios with their own culture and ongoing projects. Those other ideas don't come from Paradox, but from their acquired studio's. So entering the mobile market implies cooperation with a mobile development studio.

Morrow posted:Make your idiot syphilitic son president only to have him die from a random assassin. You joke, but managing a neutral monarchy/autocracy during the cold war sounds cool. A kind of like the cold war section in Tropico, but massively expanded upon. Edit: ^^ I see, so on the one hand they can enter the market at very low cost/risk and potentially make big bucks, or they could invest an inordinate amount of time and money setting up a mobile studio with huge risk. Makes sense they would farm it out then, it's just highly unfortunate what happened with the company they chose though. Dramicus fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Oct 15, 2019 |

I could see a 'free' paradox mobile game being something like a MUCH slicker and focused version of 'Age of Civilizations II', which is like Risk and EUIV had a weird clunky baby. Sell extra nations and scenarios for a couple bucks a piece.

I don't mind Paradox Interactive releasing bullshit, that's nothing new. But it's pretty lame that they're trashing a Paradox Development Studio title in the process. Stellaris doesn't need more bad press
