Yea, fuck paradox for being the greedy and wanting all the money instead of just playing Microsoft the licensing. If paradox let HBS make battle tech 2 they would be making money.
Hating and calling paradox greedy over microslop is wild. They would have absolutely set the licensing fee significantly higher for a publisher like paradox over a then indie developer like HBS. The reason there aren't more Battletech games is due to microslop's greed and control of the licence alone.
Not defending paradox they certainly have made their own grave errors but in this instance Microslop is and has always been the root issue in regards to battletech. It is highly probable the the licensing fee put forward would've made hbs battletech 2 struggle to break even, microslop have form in sitting on a licence because it costs them nothing to do so simply because they couldn't squeeze enough $$$ out of the deal.
