'''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. While view of their tenure was hopeful at first given [[WTF\|the "Chechnya was a vampire pysop" controversy]] White Wolf embroiled itself in, as time went on, World of Darkness writing quality was considered to lurch in the opposite direction, becoming so afraid of controversy to the point it inadvertently steps into it as was the case with 5th Edition [[Werewolf: The Apocalypse]] - perhaps not helped by one of the former Vampire perpetrators (Karim Muammar) being promoted rather than fired. Paradox is also resented by Chronicles of Darkness fans for refusing to approve any further books as to not compete with WoD5.

	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.		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 (comparatively) 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.
