Looks like alot of anti steam people worried Paradox might somehow influence Obisidan to go Steam only and release only cosmetic DLCs rather than full scale expansions. There really is some vehement Steam hate in the world!

This is a thread about the collaboration between Obsidian and Paradox Interactive. Not a thread about Steam's refund policies.
Back on topic please!

Paradox and Obsidian: Yay!
You should also talk to inXile about Wasteland 2. Now THAT would be a nice feather in your already grandiose cap.
Here's their email to kick things off: bizdev@inxile.net

inXile already has Deep Silver handling the publishing aspects of Wasteland 2: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2/posts/535779
I think that´s the most relevant question in this thread.
Seconded.
If so, I think Paradox has already given Obsidian a few extra customers
This is pretty cool. I loved their work on KOTOR II.
Maybe they'll use this as an opportunity to make a game using a triple-A sized team. That would be so awesome.

That's an interesting co-op. I wonder how it'll work out, but remain skeptic.
I wish both companies good luck anyway.

How did I not learn of this sooner? What's going on at the Paradox side of things?
That's too bad, I like deep silver, but they're way too old fashioned in their way of handling things compared to paradox.
Well, if you're going to partner with somebody to make an RPG, it's hard to do better than those guys. Feargus Urquhart and Chris Avellone have generally struck a better balance between player freedom and story than anybody else in the business with their games.
It's great Obsidian has a publisher for Pillars of Eternity and Paradox is an established - if small - publisher. Paradox will get a cut off sales, but that's what publishers do. Steam isn't selling and publishing games as a charity nor is EA or Activision. But that's the extent of the Obsidian-Paradox relationship in this case.
Paradox isn't funding PoE, that's something to consider. Publishers often fund development, not always. Looking forward to PoE. I'll buy it on GOG.com of course.

Never heard of this game before but if Paradox is publishing I will buy it on Steam
I would probably have bought it anyway. Also, any possibility that Paradox might publish Tides of Numenara as well?
I am wondering if part of the reason, Paradox was interesting in publishing it was to attract more attention to Runemaster. After all, Obsidian has a much stronger following than Paradox among old-school RPG players, since it's essentially the successor of Black Isle. I'm assuming they will create a forum for Pillars of Eternity.

But isn't inXile just the producer...? They needed a publisher for Wasteland 2 too.
