From GameWatcher: “Talking about Paradox’s involvement with the RPG genre going forward, and if it’s going to keep developing Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2, Wester comments that it’s going to “see how Bloodlines 2 is received before we invest the next big money in the genre.”
“There is a huge desire for good games in the role-playing game genre so I absolutely do not want to close any doors, but I would like to see what happens, what can we do, and how Bloodlines is received”.”
