The (IMHO) important bits:

TLDR:

Our continuous internal reviews and beta test groups have highlighted areas that we need to focus on more, mainly performance and content

From the FAQ:

Is the game canceled?
No, the game is not canceled.

What happens to pre-orders?
All pre-orders will be refunded in the upcoming weeks. The option to pre-order the game will be removed and the bonus will instead be added to the base game for all

Is there going to be Early Access or Beta Access to the game?
There will not be an early access or extra beta access right now

In the blog there are the steps to how to get the refunds, I'm not copying them in case they change.

As they say, A Delayed Game Is Eventually Good, But a Bad Game Is Bad Forever ^/s?^

All of this could have been said about PDX's Sims competitor Life By You when it got "delayed indefinitely" too. But then a week later it was cancelled. And then a week after that the lead dev came out and said there was no reason for it to have been cancelled because they had been on track for release before Paradox pulled the plug.

I loved 1 - but 2 didn’t make any sense to me. Slapping 3D on it didn’t seem like something it needed, and it makes it a very different game. Plus, it’s not made by introversion - that’s where 95% of the humor and novel game mechanics came from.

On the bright side, with this it won't turn into another CS2 or KSP2.

Considering they supposedly cited performance as a reason, they might've been about to pull a Cities skylines 2 indeed

Prison Architect 1 was amazing, up until Paradox bought it. I didn't have high hopes for PA2 (not like I was going to play it anyway) but I definitely wasn't expecting this

Paradox: can you show us the DLC content?, PA2: No, we want to make the base game first, Paradox axe: wrong answer
