Paradox Interactive, that studio that publishes all those grand strategy games with oodles of DLC, announced via a forum thread and a post on X earlier this week that inactive Paradox accounts will be "cleaned up" come March of next year. In other words, those accounts will be deleted if they don't show some sign of life in the intervening months.
The posts clarify that an inactive account is one that hasn't logged in since Sep. 2025, and Paradox staff forum account Elmaze said the "maintenance event" is happening because getting rid of excess accounts in the database "helps us maintain performance, reduce clutter, and keep our systems healthy for active players." And to be clear, logging in via a game launcher counts—you don't have to log into the Paradox website or anything.
