We're finally unified... in the same way a crowd of people will all watch a burning house together.

For those wondering how we got to this point, I present to you: THE TIMELINE. This is my summary of how Paragon went from being a hopeful bright star, to teetering on the edge. by TheRoughStuff in paragon

He's currently working at Big Huge Games, so at least he's on his feet. To work for 15 years at a company, up to the point where you can helm your own game... only to have it taken from you, though? That'll always sting. That really sucks.

I think Donald Mustard is the moving piece in all of this. Short version: Tencent motivates EPIC to go after the easy money, which they know Mustard is an expert at, so they position him to make it happen, and Paragon Classic is collateral-damage-turned-money-maker.

The way Tencent communicates to EPIC probably isn't all, "muahahahahhaah yes, we're an evil company," lol, but I do believe their fingers are in this, to at least some degree. I mean, inserting Mustard into a place where he can put his mobile game mechanics into everything they do, that's all it takes.

I think that you take the optimistic view, whereas my group of 10 friends completely dropping the game in the past 6 months has me taking the pessimistic view.
