This week, Paradox Interactive announced that they had acquired Playiron Game Studio, the makers of Airlines Manager. The company was founded in 2010 and has been producing mainly mobile titles since its inception. The company will now become the eighth internal studio under the Paradox banner. While Paradox touted their success with their current game, they didn't go into details ao to what exactly they would be doing with Playiorn or what the company would be producing for them moving forward. Obviously, it's going to be something in the mobile market, and if we had to take a wild guess, we wouldn't be entirely shocked if it was a mobile version of an IP they're already working on. We have a couple of quotes for you below from this week's announcement.
