Paradox Interactive首席执行官弗雷德里克·韦斯特承认公司在近期财务报告中做出了一些错误的决策，Life by You 的取消便是其中最显著的例子。
韦斯特坦言，尽管《十字军之王》和《欧陆风云》等核心游戏表现强劲，推动公司整体财务业绩良好，但公司也面临着严峻挑战。“很明显，我们在一些项目上做出了错误的决定，尤其是在核心业务领域之外，” 他说道。“我们的核心业务表现非常好，但另一方面，我们做出了取消 Life by You 发行的艰难决定。”
Life by You 的取消及其他挑战
Life by You是一款模拟人生游戏，旨在挑战模拟人生的霸主地位，是Paradox Interactive 尝试摆脱其传统策略游戏模式的尝试。尽管这款游戏展现出一定潜力，公司已投入近2000万美元用于开发，但最终在6月17日取消了发行。韦斯特表示，这款游戏“没有达到我们的预期”。
除了这款游戏的开发失败外，Paradox Interactive 的最新作品也面临着挑战。《城市：天际线 2》因性能问题而受阻，《监狱建筑师 2》尽管已通过所有平台的认证，但也遭遇了多次延期。这些挑战加剧了 Paradox 今年面临的困境，凸显了其重新评估游戏开发战略的必要性。
韦斯特在回顾第二季度业绩时，强调了公司凭借《十字军之王》和《星际公民》等核心游戏展现出的韧性。“在应得的自我批评中，值得提醒自己，我们拥有坚实的基础，因为我们业务的基础做得很好。” 通过承认错误并专注于核心游戏，Paradox Interactive 旨在重申其为玩家提供有趣且高质量游戏的承诺。
