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.

    It’s not the devs who are to blame for this fiasco. The management who pushed for releasing unfinished product is. There were some people sitting in a meeting room who decided that it was a good idea to publish a worthless DLC. Change is needed at management level.

    The apology looks like honest but some part of me feels like they are sorry because their strategy for ripping our wallets did not work as expected.

    I’m not planning to buy any Paradox game in the future.
