Just some C suite chap start the project to compete.

Now their competitors cancelled, so no need to compete anymore.

Part of me thinks this decision was down to the fact The Sims is still going strong. Paradox spun up Cities: Skylines and had success due mainly to SimCity imploding itself.

They were perhaps not looking to compete and gambling on EA ruining one of their own franchises again, in order to fill the niche in the market.

Probably why Paradox wanted a slice of the action!
