Hours after cancelling its only game, Paradox shutters its 24-person Life by You studio

People gaze outwards toward a sunset.

Paradox has announced it's shuttering Paradox Tectonic, the studio that was solely responsible for development of Sims competitor Life by You, until that game was suddenly cancelled just yesterday. Tectonic was a 24-person studio headed up by former Second Life boss Rod Humble, based out of Berkeley, California.

In a statement on Paradox's website, CEO Fredrik Wester called the announcement "difficult and drastic news for our colleagues at Tectonic," but that "with cancellation of their sole project we have to take the tough decision to close down the studio. We are deeply grateful for their hard work in trying to take Paradox into a new genre."
