WTF Paradox?

[Tales23]

Are you guys trying to alienate your fanbase because that's how I felt throughout the whole last half of the press conference.

You send a guy with a "Rome 2" shirt on out to announce a bunch of B games? I'm someone who enjoys Cities in Motion but I took a break from work to watch the announcement of some of the titles we've all been waiting for. Instead we get added years to CK2 when the game needs more depth not more time. I will say I'm looking forward to the EU4 expansion but when you send a guy out with a Rome 2 shirt and don't announce Rome 2. Your just asking for bad PR and I for one am not happy. I don't want to have my games dangled on a string like EA that's why I liked you guys.


Look at the games under my name, I love you guys but please don't taunt us and pull an EA. I waited for the last few hours with anticipation but left with disappointment simply because of the T-Shirt. If you had no intentions of announcing the game, than don't taunt us with it. I already try my best to overlook the VAST amounts of 1.99 DLC you throw at us, but it's getting harder and harder with shit like this.

Thanks!

You really thought they'd make another grand strategy game while working on three?

 

[Tales23]

Honestly no, I wasn't expecting Rome 2 at all. But when they guy came out with a Rome 2 shirt I got all excited cause it's the game I want the most from Paradox after CK2. Which is why I'm upset...

 

[Oriflamme]

How do you think I felt when a guy working at Valve was wearing a Half-Life 3 t-shirt 2 years ago? It could always be worse.

 

[Tales23]

And so many people gave Valve shit for that, which is my point. Paradox should know better, since they claim to be all about their fans which I have always felt is true. But stuff like this is just really poor taste.

 

[AndPimentel]

I loved it. They were saying there would be NO NEW PDS GAMES ANNOUNCED, just DLCs. You guys are hopeless, but really fun to watch.

Worst fangathering, nothing about war of the francise.

Nah, this is exactly what i love about PDS. XD

 

[DeltaCortis]

It though it was funny. No need to get pissed off about it.

Yeah. They even said noone has seen the trailers ever before. That was funny. Oh and the SimCity joke.

To be fair we were pretty clear and upfront well in advance that there would be no new PDS games announced.
And the Shirt is just Shams being Shams and his running joke back and forth with the community.

 

[Oliver Twopence]

I thought it was hilarious.

And yes: it has been made clear beyond any reasonable doubt that Rome 2 is not in the works.

Well Johan did manage to announce a PDS title, so you weren't right in that there wouldn't be announced any. Unless it all was a giant trolling attempt.

 

[Jango40]

Oh, come on. There's a good chance that the new CK2 Expansion will have more depth added.

 

[Kainser]

Rome 2 is the Half-Life 3 of Paradox games, rip in peace

 

[Gouled]

I still demand Crusader Kings the GSMMORPG. What the hell Paradox?

 

[sgt.stickybomb]

It was really funny how he was making fun of us.....

Shams just trolled you hard. Which was the entire point of the T-shirt. To poke fun at the vitriolic mob that demands Rome II at every turn.

 

[RELee]

Don't ... take ... Shams ... seriously.

Seriously.

:laugh:

At this point, Rome 2 would be my Christmas miracle game. That said we're on the internet, you're gonna get trolled by somebody eventually. Glad PDX has a sense of humor; if they didn't Sons of Abraham would have been a little less enjoyable. Next year: Victoria 3 tshirts and posters for unreleased March of the Eagles expansions.
