Paradox Interactive has closed the studio working on the life simulator Life by You
Yesterday, Paradox Interactive announced the cancellation of the life simulator Life by You. It has now become known that the game's development studio, Paradox Tectonic, is also closing.
Life by You
In an official statement, Paradox Interactive CEO Fredrik Wester called the decision to close the studio a difficult one. However, it was the inevitable consequence of canceling Paradox Tectonic's first and only project.
At the time of closing, Paradox Tectonic had 24 employees.
Paradox Tectonic was founded in 2019, led by game designer Rod Humble, who had worked on Second Life and several installments of The Sims. The launch of Life by You was delayed multiple times, and eventually, Paradox Interactive decided it was easier to cancel the game than to release it in the desired state. The company acknowledged that the cancellation of Life by You was entirely a failure of Paradox Interactive.
