I said the game will be great and put my money where my mouth is. Sad others can't do the same.

If I'm wrong, I'm out $12 and get a janky game. You guys paid $60 for Cyberpunk.

paying for videogames

That's some devotion. Wait... I see the flavor:

You drink first and tell us how good the Jonestown Juice tastes. If I'm right I'll just have someone else tell me tomorrow's flavor!

ITZ HAPPENING

Good morning, @everyone

As you have noticed, we’ve been keeping pretty quiet for a while. With this in mind, the first piece of news we have for you is to confirm that Bloodlines 2 is still in development.

Secondly, we have made the hard decision that Hardsuit Labs will no longer be leading the development of Bloodlines 2 - which also means that we will not be releasing in 2021 as previously planned. Since we cannot at this time communicate a new release date, we've also decided to stop accepting pre-orders for the time being.

This game is very important to us and it has been an ambitious project from the very start. In order to meet our goals for it, we’ve come to the conclusion that a change is needed and, as a result, more development time is required.

We’d like to take this opportunity to honor Hardsuit Labs for their efforts and thank them for their hard work on the project. The studio has done a tremendous job in laying the foundations for the game and we hope that you, the community, will also appreciate their contribution to Bloodlines 2.

We’re thankful for your continuous support throughout the game’s development. We understand how important this is to you, and we’d love to share more with you. As soon as we can, we’ll let you know what the future development team of Bloodlines 2 will look like.

Just here for the "told you so"

 

[Harthwain]

It's a polite way of saying that Hardsuit Labs botched the project. Honestly, this is good news in my opinion, because it could mean the game can be salvaged. Maybe.

 

[Wunderbar]

great news, now that it was delayed past 2021 the game for sure is going to be even better

This also affects the development of Vampire: the Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, where we communicated a delay during the third quarter of 2020. We have now chosen to postpone the release of the game further, and we will not be launching the game in 2021. We have also decided that Hardsuit Labs will no longer be leading the development of Bloodlines 2, and we have started a collaboration with a new studio partner to finish work on the game. This has been a difficult decision, but we are convinced that it is the right way forward to do the game justice.

I don't see how that's possible if they build on top of what is already made, which they most likely will.

The only thing Paradox will try to salvage here is their wasted budget money. Customer satisfaction will be of no importance.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

This is obviously being orchestrated by paradox entirely. It's midnight in seattle, 9am in sweden.

 

[80Maxwell08]

Aww man. I was getting so hyped to watch the reactions to its launch.

Going to take them a massive amount of time simply getting up to speed on a project that was being developed by a completely different team.

That hope will last as long as the next hardcore SJW type person will be revealed to have a big hand in the project, because Paradox will have learned nothing.

 

[TheSoul]

Never thought I'd be so happy to see something get stuck in development hell.

i bet they are restarting the development from scratch. Next release date - 2023-2024.

 

[Fredward]

Maybe they'll give it to HBS uwu.

 

[Alienman]

In before they rehire Mitsoda.

Depends entirely on who they're working with I suppose. Paradox could be looking to simply push some garbage out their and recoup a bit of their losses.
Not like paradox could possibly have a worse reputation.
