Former The Chinese Room co-founder Dan Pinchbeck says he urged Paradox to drop the Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 title, arguing the troubled project could never live up to the 2004 cult classic under its existing constraints. In a candid podcast interview, he describes a development mired in inherited problems, commercial pressure, and "competing priorities," even as he remains proud of the game's writing and respect for the original RPG's mythos.
