    My plan was to buy it on release, but the moment I read they would release clans as DLC the game was dead to me.

    I’ll check back in a year or two. Maybe then when everything is in one package.

      Verbatim my thoughts as well. I dont even like either of the clans in the dlc, its the principle

    Good to hear.

    To save anyone from digging for more details – “making adjustments” was all the info that was given by a trusted source in a community message in their Discord.

    Paradox was a company I was looking for in the past. Now, they became a hard pass since, what… City skylines 2? Or something…

    The never ending DLC abuses and the drop of Linux support on top of buggy releases (and DLCs) made me do a 180 degrees with them.

    It’s kind of sad really.

      They seems to fully turn the corner to oblivion with their handling of the debacle that was CS2. Just a failure from top to bottom. A far cry from the glory that original Cities:Skylines was. Now it’s just constant DLC’s that paywall basic mechanics. Surprised they haven’t made the games in monochrome and charge for DLC color packs.

    Good. I mean, who does this? You’re selling flight tickets before the plane is even built. At least wait until the game is released to gage if players even want a DLC.

    Even still, you’ve shown your hand. Now players think that you were sectioning off development of certain aspects of a game to then later sell off for extra cash instead of focusing on releasing a fully built game. Terrible mistake.

      I'm pretty sure that's actually happening in some cases.

        With the state of the world rn, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that was the case.
