{{topquote|A fool and his money are soon parted.|The typical response to someone buying a huge amount of Paradox DLC all at once.}}
'''Paradox Interactive''' (often shortened to '''Paradox''') is a Swedish [[video game|vidya gaem]] and tabletop publisher headquartered in Stockholm ([[Minecraft|sound familiar?]]) that is mainly known for 4X/Grand strategy games and [[RAGE|lots of expensive DLC]]. They are relevant to /tg/ for two reasons: one, they make [[vidya]] many a fa/tg/uy likes, and two, they've owned [[White Wolf]] and Onyx Path since 2015 and therefore are now stewarding their various TTRPG lines. Which turned out to be sorely needed given [[WTF|the "Chechnya was a vampire pysop" controversy]].

As far as AAA video game companies go, a love-hate relationship exists for the board, as while their absurd aggregate DLC costs are definitely fishing for [[whale]]s and they've made [[FAIL|questionable business decisions]], Paradox has a precedent of being chill with fan content, with them even supporting the [[TTS]] gang's [[Hunter: The Parenting|oWOD-based series]] after [[Games Workshop|Geedubs]] went nuclear on fan animation. Even before that armageddon came to be, they gave Bruva and co. a pretty penny in exchange for a pretty cool [[Stellaris]] tie-in.
