We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
I already shop between both brick and mortar stores, steam, gamersgate, impulse, and direct2drive as needed/cheaper prices. One more store won't hurt but for the love of good be like steam with neat sales and stuff every so often and alternate reality games like "We'll release a patch X% faster if you buy Y$ worth of games as a community." DO EEET.
In my experience, more money does not make your developers faster. Quite the opposite.
Now, you selling my phone number is one thing.
Only asking $1 a digit is.... insulting
Maybe I can package it: buy Stalin vs. Martian and get ForzaA's phone number as a bonus.
How many goats have the office staff sacrificed this week?
Does Paradox have any US job openings?

Might sound like a strange question, but how do you guys do the soundtrack for your games? Is it all synthesizer or do you do recordings of live music?
This tells me that people's definitions of "playability" have changed. Try playing versions 1.0 of CK or HoI; these games were often literally unplayable prior to 1.3. That is, you couldn't play the game without experiencing regular crashes or major game-stopping bugs
In contrast, and with the possible exception of HoI3, recent Paradox releases have been stable as a rock. You can play EUIII or V2 straight out of the box and be fairly untroubled by CTDs. There are of course minor bugs and balance tweaks to be made but the stability of the base code is vastly superior to that of past releases
That's nice to hear, thanks a lot
Question : we still have a few days before knowing what Project Postman is about... when can we expect to have informations on Project Untouchables ?
Project Untouchables is slated for the second half of 2012, the earliest - Announcement coming at the January event or GDC San Fran in March.
Project: Wyatt Earp will be announced in January.

Okay, so who's the Kevin Costner fan over at PI central?
The Untouchables, The Postman, Wyatt Earp?

Shams.
He keeps raving about the greatness of Costner all day at the office.
With the risk of being heckled: I like both The Postman and Bodyguard! Oh, and for those who have missed it: No Way Out is a great cold war thriller featuring Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman and Will Patton.
I like Dances with Wolves myself, though his later work is a bit thin for my taste. I also really liked Prince of Thieves when it came out. At least Shams is not suggesting Project Waterworld.
EDIT: BUT let me not discourage any post-apocalyptic themed games from being developed.

Wyatt Earp is probably my favorite film in the western genre.
@ Questioning:
Is it likely for a well known digital distributor to deliberately tarnish the reputation of a developer/publisher (by purposely corrupting the code, thereby dissatisfying customers) if it felt that that dev/pub-company would later become a formidable competitor in the DD industry?

Question: What do you refer to as your history franchise (I speak of EU: Rome, EU, Victoria and Hearts of Iron) as? They may not have the same mechanics, but they have several things in common that many people see them as part of the same group.
It will help in conversations when people are comparing it to other 'similar' series, such as Total War and Civilization (which both have simple one names to refer to). And we cannot just say Paradox games, because you make other stuff as well!

It's not a bad question, Svip. There is a new generation of Paradox games under development, with Sengoku and Crusader Kings, that focuses on character interaction. Maybe if this is a trend that Paradox will continue, games with much more limited geographical scope and more attention to the micro level of politics and society (as opposed to EU-scope geopolitics), there could be a general name given to it.
I am working on a geopolitical game myself, but I am certain it is a game Paradox Interactive would never get its name behind; its name (Crimes Against Humanity) should be a dead give away for why.
