Whats the benefits of splitting the development studios into three smaller companies, instead of one bigger company?

It's mainly a corporate distinction - in practice everything is more or less the same. We all go to work in the same place every day and try to make great games.

When is the next paradox sale on Gamersgate? In the last sale Old Gods had just been released and was at normal price

 

[Sujit]

Paradox Development Studios: Our first inhouse studio (where the story of Paradox began way back with EU1). They make the Europa Universalis, Crusader Kings, Victoria, Hearts of Iron games as well as other secret projects. The studio is led by Johan Andersson.

Paradox North: is our second in-house development studio, led by John Hargelid. They're making Magicka: Wizard Wars.

Both PDS and PDX North are located in Stockholm.

Paradox South: Is a studio we have in southern Sweden in a town called Skövde led by Lars Håhus. They're mainly a content studio who support the other paradox projects. A lot of the DLC for CK2 is made by them for instance.

Thank for the explanation.

What kind of sword is that? And how did you manage to train it in martial arts?

A flamberge sword I believe. No training needed, platypus are born killers and quite deadly with an assortment of weapons from ages 6 weeks and onwards

I believe the platypus was adopted when Paradox Went Down Under (more info here: http://paradox-interactive-on-tour.tumblr.com/).

It's not really current anymore, so I can see the reasoning.
