What a weird email I just got. So, last week an employee came forward to say that Paradox had quietly fired most of Harebrained Schemes, the creators of Battletech and recent Shadowrun games. The explanation is that Paradox couldn't own these licenses, so there was nothing in it for them.
Off the back of that troubling news, the publisher just sent out the news that they are cutting ties with (what remains of) the studio completely.
