It's really sad to see how badly they screwed the pooch on this game.

Them again, this series and publisher was tailor made to the patient game.

Pdx is dead for me anyway. Their idiotic subscription shit was pretty much the last straw. It's a bit ironic in case of Cities Skylines because Sim City by Maxis had similar publisher issues with EA, which Pdx seems to want to mimic more and more, if not surpass them in their bullshit.

Personally, I've lost interest in modding this game at this point. It's in a sorry state, and I don't want to support Paradox, while they continuously feed us bullshit excuses.

Give your time and money to studios and people, who actually sell you a finished product for a fair price

How do you screw up this badly. I really hope they're able to pull a NMS / Cyberpunk but damn, the more time passes the less likely it looks.

I'm so glad I waited to see if this would get a finished Steam Deck/Xbox release, only to see it hasn't been finished.

So far, I've got Cities Skylines (fails to run on Steam Deck), SimCity 4... and now I have SimCity 3000 thanks to the EA bundle, which I've been playing around with. These old games, while may not super complex or graphically amazing, are actually feature complete and virtually bug-free, compared to the new games of late.

Save your money and buy the SimCity 3000/4 games instead. In my experience, they have more depth and challenge than Cities Skylines 1 (can't say much about CS2).

Man, I dumped hundreds of hours in KSP and C:S thanks to the mods available in the Workshop. I had high hopes for the new releases, but held off to see what they’d look like. Unfortunately they seem very underwhelming. Wish I could roll back the games to the modding heyday and play them again. They were a lot of fun. Not having mods available is a deal killer, for many games I check and see if there’s Workshop pages for them before buying. If not, I don’t buy.
