Oooooooh , i never realized that had happened. I am sad now....But you are still cool. So, how about we organize a small coup d' etat and take them over

 

[Hax]

So that's why my old HoI 1 (!) game was created in Paradox Entertainment folder...

 

[naggy]

I renamed the folder to Paradox Hyperactive. But I'm silly that way.

 

[King_Richard_XI]

I renamed the folder to Paradox Hyperactive.

I did things like that once, when I was like 8. Lego Racers became Lego Placemats, Lego Creator became Lego destroyer, Candyland became Rot your Teeth out...

Hey,

I want to draw your attention to a [post=11904988]simple request for Vic 2 patch.[/post]
Simply a request to add a "Do not over-write autosaves" button, to allow us to automatically accumulate save-games over time for modding purposes.

Also, my apologies for the technically double-posting. I heard rumours that the patch is to be finished this month (how true they are, only god knows).
I didn't want to have such a simple, yet such a useful feature not make it into the patch, simply because it didn't catch the Dev's notice in time.

Thanks & Enjoy.

When exactely and why did Paradox Interactive and Paradox Entertainment go there seperate ways ?

I also am not really familiar with how this happened and why.

If it would still be one company you could make a new Conan game right?

Is there still any connection between the now 2 corporations or are they completly independent?

They are not the same companies? apparently..but when you google Paradox entertainment it takes you to the paradox plaza website, which is the paradox interactive website, no? Then the 3rd or so result is this http://www.paradox-entertainment.com/

Which is clearly a different company, I mean, there is no platypus >.<

Look at the games they've done, besides AOC, paradox interactive seems to be much more famous,

So, yeah, what Alexspeed said and gigau said, answers plz!

Why is that whenever you release a patch you never post the correct checksum on the release notes?

edit: sorry if this has been asked before.

I let others answer the how & why, but it happened in 1999.

No formal connection. But the online card-game Mutant Chronicles: Doomtrooper that we are developing is licensed from Paradox Entertainment. See Fredrik's announcement here if you've missed it.

 

[SAS]

Project Go Fish.

 

[Alexspeed]

Mutants with chronicles... interresting, i shall have an eye on that

 

[unmerged(224556)]

Is a shame..imagine if those two companies didn't split...they would be epically that much bigger...so epic...tis's a shame.

BTW ALL DLR if you recieved a beta key is now live!

 

[Angelos]

Since i always referred to this company as Paradox, i had not even realized there were 2 companies until i asked about Conan a few days ago But basically, since the break happened in 1999, all the games we know are PI ones. I believe only Svea Rike and Airfix existed before that, right?

Yes, you're right. I was thinking of the restructuring from Target Games to Paradox Entertainment.
