Paradox seems to be proving that they are no longer capable of developing video games.

Or rather shitty with their estimates.

This is what happens when you don’t have a passionately obsessed lead developer like Chris Delay behind the helm who writes a performant, purpose-built game engine from scratch.

I really worry that PA2 won’t have the magic of the original and will be a typical Unity game engine project with slapped together code from a mixture of asset packs until it vaguely works.

That is exactly what will happen.

Given that Double Eleven was removed From development after 9 years, it's unsurprising that they would have some technical debt.

I just hope this is Paradox learning from the mistakes of the past, and not the game being too far gone.
