See all the Paradox games on sale here.
Additionally, Paradox Interactive announced today the formation of a new studio called Paradox Tectonic. It's being led by Rod Humble, the former Executive Vice President at Electronic Arts and also a former CEO of Linden Lab.
Hopefully their games will support Linux like all those coming out of Paradox Development Studio! We've no idea what games they're going to be doing at this time, since Paradox Interactive said they're going for "a brand-new game and IP" to be revealed at a later date.
See the full press release on that announcement here.

Quoting: tmtvlHang on, isn't Obsidian owned by Microsoft now? Why can Paradox put PoE on sale?
They're just the publisher for that, presumably that doesn't change if a developer changes hands. There would be a contract for X amount of years signed between Obsidian and Paradox, and Microsoft simply inherits that contract.

Hopefully not.
I think he was involved a lot into production of The Sims 2, on of the few games that has more DLCs than an average Paradox Game. At least here he seems to fit to Paradox.
Maybe something like The Sims? Sklyine Citizens?
Doesn`t sound to me, that there will be a Linux Game coming out of this company.
Would be nice though, as i like Paradox and their games.
Quoting: FredOBattletech is showing as Windows and MAC only. Is it officially out for Linux, or still in some kind of private beta?My Steam version runs in Linux.
I love most of the games that Paradox gives to us, how many of their games we can run, and that they support modding. I'm a fan!
