as an avid fan of cities skylines I’m so very disappointed.

as someone who works in software… I’m eagerly waiting for next year when I do buy the game.

the games industry is a business at the end of the day and building software is a very expensive process. I understand that executives want to see returns start to come in now rather than later and if they make some customers angry then they’ve weighed the risks and decided it’s worth it.

Games make the overwhelming majority of the money right at the start either way, so there’s that.

I don’t think that has been the case for at least a full console generation, maybe more.

Look at the rise and fall of pre-order goodies to get a rough estimate of when publishers really, really wanted you to buy the game day 1 (and when it stopped mattering as much)
