blomvik, do games w Paradox Takes the Blame for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Sales Flop, Announces $37 Million Write-Down

When they announced the pre-order bonus, it seems clear that this might not be a good day one purchase. Will probably give it a look some time, but i should replay Troikas version first.

What company puts legal pressure on a mod this iconic, it does not make sense, it’s literally free advertising on a completely different game that cannot affect any revenue they make from Thomas negatively.

Lawyers and marketers who refuse to see nuance and view everything as a potential threat

Tanoh,

IANAL, but I believe in some places you have to go after any and all forms of it, otherwise you risk losing the whole thing. I think US is one of those places.

Kn1ghtDigital,

I’m also not a lawyer but I’ve also seen how the law doesn’t seem to mean shit anymore. Fuck companies.

It’s an all time great mod that’s pretty harmless with the IP

“I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine,” ‪Trainwiz‬ wrote on the Nexus Mods page for Really Useful Cliffracers.“I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.”

Remember, CEOs aren’t people. CEOs are legally parasites.

I already completely forgot this had come out

What? VTM2 came out?

When?

I legitimately did not know it was released.

Is that part of why its flopping?

Or is the gameplay bugged to fuck/story shit/etc?

regdog,

Don’t get too exited. Maybe in a year or two all the bad has been patched out and it might become an actually good game.

Landless2029,

Yep. I’m waiting at least 2 years.

A_Random_Idiot,

Yeah, that seems par for the course with current Paradox games the past few years…

Cities Skylines is 2 years old and still shit, too… Hell paradox is even going so far as to change the dev company working on it at the start of next year. Which is doing wonders for peoples hope for the future of the game /s

I really hope that they go the CDPR route

Paradox owns the world of darkness ip entirely right now. I wonder if this call to refocus their efforts on their core competencies will mean selling it off.

They haven’t done too well with it. They’ve released several games and I think some solo dev interactive fiction have been the only ones getting positive reviews: Earthblood, Swansong, Bloodhunt, and now Bloodlines 2 have all done pretty poorly. Even the tabletop RPG has seen better days, with 5th edition causing quite the controversy, mostly with Werewolf. Hell they closed White Wolf down for a while because the books caused controversy.

Paradox have done a terrible job with the IP.

NeverKnowsBest made a video about it, which I think is worth a watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWuokRjedOA

He also pins the blame squarely on Paradox.
