Turning David into Almost Goliath: Paradox Interactive's Journey
Everyone starts somewhere. Paradox Interactive started as a small studio that made weird PC games for small dedicated audiences. Today, Paradox is a medium sized publisher making weird games for a bigger, but still dedicated, audience.
