Life by You, Paradox’s Attempt at The Sims, Canceled as the Publisher’s Struggles Continue

The Sims has been a massive cash cow for EA, so it wasn’t super surprising when Paradox Interactive announced Life by You, their take on The Sims formula developed by a new team led by former Sims boss Rod Humble. Unfortunately, Life by You didn’t end up being the easy layup it seemed like it should be, as the game’s early access launch was delayed multiple times, and now Paradox has announced they’re outright canceling the game. Here’s what Paradox deputy CEO Mattias Lilja had to say about Life by You being canned… “Sadly, we’ve decided to cancel the release […]

Cities: Skylines II Devs Focus on Performance/Bugs over DLC/Consoles, Reveal New Roadmap

Cities: Skylines II didn’t arrive in a great state last month, with performance issues, bugs, and other issues dampening fans’ excitement.

That certainly sounds good, but it also means post-launch content, and possibly the console versions, will arrive later than expected. Colossal Order have provided this updated roadmap. A variety of asset and creator packs will now arrive later, including Beach Properties in Q1 2024 and Modern Architecture and Urban Promenades in Q2 2024. Colossal […]

This news isn't surprising, except that it didn't come sooner. Palworld was first released in January 2024. In the game, there are plenty of "Pals" that look incredibly similar to the creatures in Pokemon, to the point that it's bordering […]
