Sadly, Paranoia has been delayed because they're working on dedicated severs because every time if the Host ins't pick as Jason or gets kill first then lefts and ruins everyone's Game (Even tho they said it was expedite) Liars also it be Cancelled if they don't work it out. (also I have to agree with that they should check there Game more often).
I heard Paranoia was delayed, and I’m not that worried about it honestly. The game needs a lot more attention before a new game mode should be considered, honestly, and I can’t help feeling that the reason we’ve had so few updates and so many unfixed bugs is because they’ve put so much time and energy into Paranoia.
If they can’t get it to work and end up cancelling it, it’s not that big of a deal to me. I can’t miss what wasn’t there to begin with. I may still write the fic I had in mind inspired a bit by the concept, since it’s an AU and I think it could be pretty fun.
The dedicated servers I think is more of an issue on consoles than on PC, since PC’s always had dedicated servers from what I’ve seen. Even playing with randoms I’ve never had the game end because the host left. I’ve had it end because Jason rage quit, but never due to the host leaving, so I think that’s a console thing. But yes, that is an issue that needs to be addressed and it’s long overdue. The game should be fixed and playable before they attempt to make new game modes etc.
