Do we know for sure why Paradox kicked HardSuit Labs out?
A higher up from Paradox said they were gonna cancel the game but then the Chinese Room made them a pitch and they thought it was good and decided to hand the game over to them BUT

I absolutely do NOT buy it at all. I do not buy that the Chinese Room pitch was so good as to save the game, i'm not even sure I believe they ever planned on cancelling the game.
There must've been drama between them and Hardsuit Labs. I wish someone would leak it.
