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.

I downloaded the update so fast their was no on to play except for bot bootcamp.

To add on, they're consistently a 70-80 studio, which is fairly good, they could be better with Microsoft's support and it will be an opportunity to sort the damn rights out for FASA IP and bring them back under one roof, with Jordan Weisman back in control of FASA's IPs and free range to choose from Battletech, Shadowrun, Crimson Skies, etc.

And Phil keeps banging on about reviving certain FASA IP (MechAssault is part of the Battletech IP).

The only thing left to bring in-house would be MechWarrior, also part of the Battletech IP (Christ these rights are a mess).

Phil at 22:06 saying he would like to see a Rare Replay-like collection for FASA IP along with high praise for Jordan Weisman.

Get Harebrained to make a FASA Replay.

Okay, that's too perfect of timing to be coincidence

Yeah there's plenty of great games to choose from but idk, a laid-back fun shooter like Redfall works well after being heavily invested in Starfield :P hit the spot from me while waiting for Alan Wake II.
