Thank god, maybe now they can go back to making Shadowrun and Battletech without all the Paradox enforced bullshit.
They got done dirty, I hadn't even heard of the lamplighters league until a friend of mine at triumph mentioned it recently. Paradox majorly dropped the ball on this one, with setting the release so close to the widely anticipated city skylines 2 and then not doing any advertising for it.
- I own all the shadowruns and battletech with all the expansions and I only heard about Lamplighters because of the layoffs.
  Someone shit the bed hard.
  
  I regularly check in on their site because BattleTech and Shadowrun are smack-dab-fucking-right-in-the-center of my gaming tastes. But BattleTech launched 2018 which is an absurd long time without a big new title for a developer that makes (very good) games in the A to AA scale. Lamplighters look OK but not a theme I particularly care for and I fail to see how it took 5+ years. And if their whole team worked on the BattleTech expansions, well then they're either much smaller than I thought or took it very chill.
