Dear Cities fans, We see and understand the disappointment many of you have expressed after the release of Cities: Skylines II and the recent release of Beach Properties. We asked for your patience and support, and you’ve shown those. In...

TL;DR:

  • They apologized (again)

  • They will refund everyone who bought the beach DLC and make it a free addition to the game, admitting it was tasteless that they made paid DLC when the game is in a broken state

  • They will focus on base changes and better modding tools before starting to make more DLC (previously announced DLC has been delayed to 2025)

  • Console release delayed

Honestly, this is a good update. It’s everything we wanted to hear. Looking forward to buying the game when it gets fixed.

    I do wait, and the publishers don’t get away with selling me unfinished games. It’s great.

    I wait at least a month for any game, 8 months for a Bethesda game.

      I waited a year for cyberpunk, until everyone was saying it was all fixed, and I hated all the bugs and some bad design decisions. Nothing major, but it felt like death of a thousand cuts.

      I shudder to imagine how that game looked at release that this feels like a polished product to people.

        Hah, yeah I also played cyberpunk quite recently. I really liked it for the most part, I’m considering playing it again with a totally different build.

        Yeah, I saw some early gameplay videos from cyberpunk… I think it has indeed come a very long way.

          I can’t say I didn’t like it. Quite the opposite, but for a supposedly fixed game, there were still too many annoyances.
