Paradox was probably the best choice they could've gone with and stayed within Sweden, they're known for picking up good indie game developers and sponsoring them, and I believe they give alot of creative freedom, one example being Mount & Blade.

Possible it might be a one time purchase through Paradox Digital download site Gamersgate, like Guild wars is.

H&H seems to be just "alpha-stage name" of Salem judging by explanations in that vid. Or those are two _very_ same games =)
And J&L was in NEw York lately, where they was working with new publisher, eh?

EDT: Is't "Salem" is some copyright-protected music band? (http://www.salemband.com/)

I really can't think of a better publisher than Paradox for a project like this. They've done an excellent job funding and publishing several indie games without messing with the creative aspects, and make plenty of hardcore games too.

I just hope they'll come up with some way to monetize the game that doesn't involve an item shop or other silly scheme. Why did they have to go with free-to-play? What's wrong with a simple monthly fee?

Meh, it's just business, I guess.

I am super hyped, I think it will be great, they will have better resources, funding, larger team(?), server, everything!
Looking at the great things they've done with H&H with so little it could only get better.

Except it won't even be remotely similar to this game except for permadeath and a few other core mechanics.

Enjoy your desert god, ergot, and nigger witches.
