Club Directory

I don't think it's a good idea. AoC thrives from being a small indie title, thus all of the interactions with the community. Going mainstream would take away so much of the charm, not even considering what draconian dlc policies they might try to enforce

Wouldn't mind the dlcs tbh

Yes 100% I would accept it would allow the adding of lots of features that can't be added by 1 prsn only

Looking at this objectively. Maybe yes BUT this seems more weirdly a scam.  Pro is that you get money and stuff that you usually don't have access to. And not like they can force you to make DLCs since mobile and why? HOI4 already makes 10 morbillion from their DLCs aswell as other IPs under their belt. This seems more like a way to extend their influence on the historical tactical strategic RTS genre or something (I do not know what specific genre HOI4 or Victoria 2 are.) Than anything making more money. They'll make more but not their main players. Other than that, you may lose autonomy on your own project so it's best if you ask if you if your development on the project will be intervened on or not. But this email is just, odd. It gives off a really fishy vibe. So do what you need to do first on checking if this is more of a hook scam. -Like check the email and if this is the original business email used by Paradox themselves. -Converse more to see if this person is an actual employee of Paradox interactive. Even look him up and see if he is actually working for Paradox -Read between the lines for any errors or slip-ups the writer had made. -And check for any more drills use for scam emails. Most importantly is be ready if this man is here only to leak the game, reuse the game for his own motives, or something else. Also don't forget that he could give you a trojan in a blink of an eye like a RAT (Remote Access Trojan) or something else worst. Always prepare for the worst. Of course I'm just a kid on your forum but being paranoid is better than being oblivious. @Łukasz Jakowski, sorry for the ping. Just concerned.
