Yo, cel, Paradox is opening a studio in Barcelona. Johan will lead the studio, and apparently they'll focus on EU4, with more to follow.

Is that promotion, or exile?

I think Frederik went there a while ago. I think it'll be kind of a semi retirement.

I thought the Barcelonawards tech trend was slowing due to the insane prices and political iffiness. Curious.

There's a burgeoning videogame scene in Barcelona, although so far it's more centered around mobile gaming and such. Glad to have something like Paradox move over here.

Regarding prices, it's still cheaper than your average Euro capital. My former GF was sent over from London to Barcelona by her company and she sumed it up like "it's cheap, you don't get mugged, and the weather is nice, of course everybody wants to move here".

Damning with faint praise.
Even Paris is cheaper than London.

Barcelona is very expensive by Spanish standards, but by European (or rather North European) ones it's still affordable. London is in a league of its own.

Hopefully no Paradox Tinto de Verano.

If that's their criteria they should have called it Paradox Sangría. 

[The Brain]

With a little luck they'll be free of EU regulations in a couple of years and can work their people like Asian child laborers.

"Bloodletting" is a good description of their DLC policy

Tinto de Verano is typically Spanish, whereas Sangria can be found in Portugal as well (sadly?) so that's a no.

Maybe it's because they will be closer to ubik, who still holds the rights to all Paradox game engines.

I'm late to the party.
But just discovered by putting outline.com/ the url you want to access, you can get around a large number of paywalls
Seems quite like the old google translate to evade school filters trick.

That's the dude that snapped and got but in the nuthouse by his family, right?
