The Way Forward, an update from the team behind Cities: Skylines (forum.paradoxplaza.com)

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.

This team has been making the exact same game for multiple decades. Look at this developer's game history. It is literally the same exact game redeveloped over and over every few years and then they repackage and resell the same DLCs for the new versions. What a con of a game dev.

13 years since Cities in Motion 1 is not multiple decades, and Cities in Motion 1 is in no way the same game as Cities Skylines

So you think they've been making entirely new games for their entire existence? You don't think it's conny at all that literally all they do is make city builders and sell DLCs and then make a new one when interest dries up? Doesn't seem very creative or innovative in my opinion it sounds like pure capitalism. Publisher is a microcosm EA.

That’s not a con, that’s someone perfecting their art.

Oh so Cities II is better than 1 across the board? And the Hobbit movies were better than lotr? I feel like you're being a tad naive.
