Proposed Paradox Interactive partnership
Let’s build the world’s #1 live game dev platform.
Paradox could turn the craft behind its games into a paid learning business. Its developers and invited designers from around the world would teach under the Paradox brand on a standalone platform built with GAWP®. Masterclass tickets and developer series passes would generate revenue for participating creators and the platform.
