Paradox indefinitely delays Prison Architect 2, just like it did with Life By You before it was scrapped

Prison Architect 2 is delayed yet again, but this time, it could be for good. “New technical challenges” warranted developers spending more time on stability testing. It makes sense for Paradox to be wary of releasing an unfinished or buggy game, seeing how badly Cities: Skylines 2 was received by players.

Paradox just cancelled Life By You - Lemmy.zip

At least Paralives is still supposed to released, and my copy of The Sims 3 still works as well!
