I loved 1 - but 2 didn’t make any sense to me. Slapping 3D on it didn’t seem like something it needed, and it makes it a very different game. Plus, it’s not made by introversion - that’s where 95% of the humor and novel game mechanics came from.

Yeah. Introversion makes The Last Starship at the moment.

On the bright side, with this it won’t turn into another CS2 or KSP2.

Considering they supposedly cited performance as a reason, they might’ve been about to pull a Cities skylines 2 indeed

Yeah I thought the same. I played 1 from the very beginning up until release. When I heard about 2 I wasn’t even interested, it seemed to me it would be doomed from the start.

Prison Architect 1 was amazing, up until Paradox bought it. I didn’t have high hopes for PA2 (not like I was going to play it anyway) but I definitely wasn’t expecting this

I really loved the first game, but have zero faith in the sequel. I think the whole 3d rework makes no sense, and on top of that, it’s led by a company, that’s historically made the worst choices in every aspect of development

Paradox: can you show us the DLC content? PA2: No, we want to make the base game first Paradox axe: wrong answer

The (IMHO) important bits:

From the FAQ:
In the blog there are the steps to how to get the refunds, I’m not copying them in case they change.
As they say, A Delayed Game Is Eventually Good, But a Bad Game Is Bad Forever ^/s?^

All of this could have been said about PDX’s Sims competitor Life By You when it got “delayed indefinitely” too. But then a week later it was cancelled. And then a week after that the lead dev came out and said there was no reason for it to have been cancelled because they had been on track for release before Paradox pulled the plug.
