I know they were using Unity's pre-made items for the game. I wonder if the game was even real to begin with?! Happy I didn't spend the money on early access like I almost did
People seem to be conflating Paradox interactive (the Publisher) with Paradox Techtonic (the development team for LBY). There is no Paradox gaming company. Paradox Interactive has existed for years and PUBLISHED City Skylines, but Collossal Order is the development team for City skylines. Paradox is basically a publishing team who does so through partnerships with developers. Paradox Techtonic was formed JUST to develop LBY. And much like us were surprised when their Publisher Paradox interactive cancelled the game instead of putting any further money into it and shut down there studio 24 hours later. Big boss basically came in and cleaned hiuse. None of this was wanted by the actual dev team working on the game. the Tectonic team are now all jobless. LBY pre-orders were all refunded after one of the previous delays. You could wishlist it, but not preorder anymore anyway.

Standard for paradox they did this with CS II and this is just how the gaming industry is now

As someone who preordered LBY twice, I can confirm I received an AUTOMATIC full refund BOTH times I preordered.
that's so crazy
