IT was pain enough to release NW through them.

Where to start?

Not paying any royalties untill 1 and a half year after release. (after getting a lawyer, and through a court)
taking 40% off any sales whilst contributing nothing.
Not advertising at all.
Uploading old beta version of the game to the platforms like GOG and so on... most reviewers got a broken version at release (naked bodies etc) and they made no review or a negative review.
Forcing us to do any actual publisher stuff like making steam pages, screenshots and trailer videos.
Telling us what to do in the game whilst never playing it themselves.
Pushing us for an early unfinished release.
Canceling single player from the expansion.
Making NW not a stand alone game but "Only a DLC"
Reducing the price because of above.
Pushing the DLC to 75% discount at release because they diden't understand that there is a difirence between a new release DLC and putting warband in sale because of it's release.
Putting in the steam page all kinds of wrong things like that we would have the japanese language in the game whilst they had a whole complete list of what should be on the steam page.
Never responding to any questions.
Never updating the steam page with proper information.
Not putting our company name anywhere on the product pages but only Paradox and Taleworlds.

There is a lot more but i forgot it (or pushed it out of my hatefull mind)

How did you think Taleworlds got out of the Paradox contract and got Bannerlord under their own name aswell as Warband and Viking Conquest etc?

Because paradox broke contract ;) By not paying ;)

It was not public no, but it's now so many years later i don't think it matters anymore.

Thats some interesting info @Vince

The last 15 odd years for Paradox has been questionable.
Knightmare is from Albania, no?
Sorry, I can't accept this team.

They just announced 2 new Games at PDX con and several DLCs (what a surprise.)

One of the games is Imperator: Rome | The other is Age of Wonders: Planetfall.

Main DLC's are for Europa Univeralis 4 and Crusader Kings II.
EU4 DLC: Dharma - Pretty much an overhaul of India it looks like.
CK2 DLC: Holy Fury - Pretty much gonna overhaul Pagans and reforming religion allowing for more customization as it looks like right now.

Rest of the DLCs are just for City Skylines or that one Stellaris one people have been waiting for.
