What other games does Paradox mean because they don't own Shadowrun or Battletech. IIRC the game rights are Microsoft's and they licensed them out to Jordan Weisman specifically, not Paradox. Paradox even said they don't want to do another (I think they said Battletech or Shadowrun) sequel because they don't own the IP.

If Jordan still works at Harebrained Schemes then Microsoft should acquire them, or at least publish their titles. They're basically FASA, Jordan Weisman helped create Battletech, Shadowrun and Crimson Skies. The Shadowrun titles under Harebrained all scored well too, Dragonfall is 83 on OpenCritic and Hong Kong is 82. Battletech is an 80 on Opencritic.

The Lamplighters League is 71 but apparently it's a technical mess so that will be dragging the score down, you can blame Paradox for rushing them (possibly) and give them the benefit of the doubt. I'd not be surprised if Paradox is also offloading them because Harebrained wants to work on Shadowrun/Battletech stuff, etc. But Paradox doesn't want to work on IPs they don't own.

They'd be cheap as hell too, Idk...Feels like a decent acquisition target for Microsoft.
