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.

      If he’d just say “It is over, no more books.” people would just move on. But him constantly stating that he’ll publish “next year” for 10 years years or so now is really annoying.

          It is pretty comparable tbh. It is also the same for Elders scroll fans. Before Skyrim and before A Dance with Dragons both published constantly and both started publishing on the mid 90s, both published 5 times, both started publishing side project stuff.

          Elders Scroll fans have it somewhat better though, not depending on a single person, who also isn’t the youngest.

          I am also an Elder Scroll fan since Arena btw, so I am quite f…d.

      Refuses to finish next installment of Game Of Thrones — like ten years waiting.

      His D&D group probably stopped meeting years ago. No new ideas.

      (I kid, I kid. Er, I think.)

        Chuckled. That was unexpected.

        But you should read some of this guy— he’s the most legit… except for this delay.

          I know, I was just going for the comedic route (er, I think :p ). I’ve read his books.

      He did finish it we saw it on TV and hated it. So now he’s not gonna do it because he knows no matter what he does we will hate it. He wrote himself into a corner

        Yeah I remember some interview or something where he said the show just did a shittier version of the ending he wanted and it kind of killed his drive to finish. Imagine the adaptation being so bad it actually does ruin the source.

      Oh, nothing more than that? Yeah, that’s just a man who hasn’t done his job. If he averaged a page a day, he’d have finished years ago.
