At this point they've had time to basically go through a full development cycle post Hardsuit Labs firing, haven't they? I think the game will be fine, it just won't be the Bloodlines 2 we were initially promised - or wanted. As far as I know they more or less threw out 90% of the previous project, kept some assets and had The Chinese Room make a new game.

    Damn, I didn't realize the team that started with Dear Esther ended up on Bloodlines 2.

    I have faith in that team, but at the same time, its... generally an ominous portent when any game's development has a team of idiot corpo mismanagers driving the whole process.

    And yes, for clarity, if its needed, Paradox is a fucking awful publisher, they don't know how to make a 'strategy' game that involves any strategy other than 'cheese the AI', the 'strategy' they know is 'keep stringing along neurotic obsessives with an endless flood of pricey dlcs and false promises.'
