Comment

"Based out of Washington"? According to the company's rap sheet on Mobygames,

"Last known address was: Paragon Software Corporation 600 Rugh Street Greensburg, PA 15601 However, it appears as if they no longer exist."

Of course, that doesn't necessarily have any bearing on their /base/. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pseudo Intellectual (talk • contribs) 09:34, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Paragon no longer exists. Microprose purchased Paragon. Six months later, Microprose filed for bankruptcy. Paragon's founder bought back the assets that were Paragon and then founded Take Two Interactive. Wikiant 11:16, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed sources

In my rewriting edit, I removed the citation the refernces the book The CEO's Boss: Tough Love in the Boardroom, as I doubt it's reliability. For example, the book claims that Seremet was a co-founder of Take-Two Interactive, which is not presented in any other sources (we know from many knowingly reliable sources that Ryan Brant is the only founder of the company). Furthermore, it claims that he was that company's CEO; his LinkedIn states COO, but I could so far verify neither. However, he and Lennon seem to have been involved with Take-Two Interactive, though just in minor roles ("executive producer" etc.). As such, I think it is best to keep the citation out. The part it was used for here, which claims that the company developed Marvel-licensed games, is now covered through GameSpot, considered reliable by the Video games WikiProject.

Also, @Wikiant, the overiew page from Morningstar, which you cited, is generated automatically from corporate pages they also generate automatically from data they draw from things like stock exchanges, often in a very bad manor. Just like Bloomberg L.P., although they have Bloomberg Businessweek, which publishes news articles. As such, the data provided there has high chances of being incorrect or flawed at best. I removed it again and instead included MicroProse's press release (via The Free Library) instead. I hope this clears up possible confusion. Lordtobi (✉) 20:14, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification, @Lordtobi. I concur. Wikiant (talk) 23:39, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
