Expected to arrive at the end of the year, Cities Skylines 2 increasingly shows what is his goal: after some promotional trailers, the game seems to aim for

    I’d rather that basics be part of the game from the start. Mass transit should have been there to begin with. Looking at a lot of these dlc it seems like they should’ve been there by default.

      So then what if you waited until it had all of the features that you consider necessary and then buy those on a sale? You’re a far cry from $2k spent in either case.

        I shouldn’t have to spend anything extra for basics. It should be there already. So I’ll just not pay anything and pirate it if their monetization scheme is going to be this fucked.

          Who determines what’s a basic and what’s expanded content then? You know what’s in it when it comes out, and you can buy it at that price or not. If they do extra work, it makes sense to sell it as an add-on. If you were happy with it before they added night clubs or weather features, were they really that essential to be included in the base package? If you weren’t happy with it before they added those things, wait until they add those things. They sell a good product at a fair price, and they’re forthcoming about what’s in it. They don’t try to keep you hooked with weird psychological tricks or gambling mechanics. Nothing about this is fucked.
