I guess they are not getting too many sales recently so they decided to cash out. Good business move. And Paradox usually care for their games and PA should be in good hands.
"We'd like to properly invest in selling more DLCs and fragmenting our future games in order to implement said vision and maximize sales accordingly"
Paradox: "Say no more, welcome aboard"
@Il_Padrino: very true, at the end of the day this is a good outcome. It could have gone much worse
We're proud to announce that Double Eleven is developing Prison Architect, bringing more gameplay, bug fixes, updates to the game! They're well known for developing the console versions and have worked with Paradox Interactive and Introversion for multiple years!
Our first gift to players is a FREE update on June 27th that includes 4 new floors, 4 new walls, increased foreman cap, guard responses, fixed scanners, more quick rooms, tunnel searches, full rotations for items, and a few more fixes/changes that we hope you'll like!
Didn't watch the whole thing but they started with saying that it would include 3 new floor tiles, lol.. so basically 5-10 minutes of work, i guess it goes downhill from there... Clearly this team is asked to do some free content while really working on the paid content, but the focus (at first) is going to be "look it's free, we are still very nice guys!"
It would've been a better idea to develop a sequel. PA was in a limbo for some time. Introversion abandoned the game, then tried to pander to the console derps and failed, then developed a new game and failed. In the end they came back to work on the game, released some half-assed updates and sold to PDX. A few years ago when the game was at it's peak they pissed away the potential and half of their ideas were inspired by community mods anyway.
Paradox Interactive and Double Eleven present Psych Ward: Warden’s Edition, the next expansion to Prison Architect coming on PC on November 21, 2019. Introducing unpredictable inmates with new behaviors, and giving you more ways to customize your prisons, Psych Ward: Warden’s Edition enhances the game existing gameplay and mechanics. Get creative with your prison management!
Welcome to the Psych Ward!
Your prison will be more lively than ever with the arrival of the criminally insane. Lucky for you, it’s time to outfit your prison with the latest and greatest in Psych Ward management to house these unpredictable inmates.
Key Features
PLEAD INSANITY
Criminally insane inmates are unpredictable, require special care, and have their own Reputation traits for you to consider when building your prison. Let them co-exist with the general population or lock them away in a padded cell, how you manage their needs is up to you!
SHRINKS
Any prison holding the criminally insane needs a team of Psychiatrists and trained Orderlies to keep everything under control. These valuable prison staff can sedate rowdy prisoners or pull out the straitjackets when things get too rough.
DOCTOR'S NOTE
Provide counselling to the criminally insane with the new Psychiatrist’s Office. Improve their sessions by upgrading the office with leather sofas, medicine cabinets, and Rorschach tests.
IT'S GONE VIRAL
Treat your inmates with care. Subjecting your inmates to excessive suppression or punishment can cause them to turn criminally insane.
EXTRA PADDING
Psych Ward: Warden’s Edition adds padded cells along with a bundle of new objects, floors, and wall types to customize your prison. Now you can easily build a dedicated wing for the criminally insane.
TOOLS OF THE TRADE
Additional contraband, including Adrenaline Shots, Fountain Pens (Shanks), and Gold Pocket Watches, can be stolen by your prisoners, or by you in Escape Mode.
"We decided to delay the launch of Prison Architect: Island Bound. The expansion is coming soon and we’ll share more details in the coming days.
Prison Architect is a game that tackles difficult topics by caricaturing prison fiction represented in popular culture.
We understand and respect that there are sensitivities surrounding Prison Architect’s content and we do our best to take those into consideration when promoting the game.
Right now, we are adjusting our communication out of respect for the important voices that need to be heard."
"important voices"? people promoting violence and defunding the police, taking down statues of Carl von Linné.. Absolute retardation. Sooooo important!
idiots. now i'm definitely not gonna support them by purchasing this.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
