This week I’ll keep things brief and focus on what’s happening on modding. As suspected, modders wait for no-one and they have already achieved really cool stuff like maps and code mods which is amazing!
Cities: Skylines II release build...
I’m so tired of those apologies at this point. We’ve had shitty and rushed releases for the past decade already, just like we had half asses apologies that didn’t mean anything. Everyone knows by now what a release like this means. They knew full well what type of response they’d get. They should save themselves the words at this point and just do better releases. Rebuilding trust my ass. They already planned in the time for servicing the game but now they can use this No Man’s SKy & Cyberpunk like marketing trick to claim that they have done some sort of magical comeback for their fans and be praised for their initial shortcomings. It’s all bullshit for gullible people.
What makes this matter messier is that you got two parties to blame here - developers and publishers: Colossal Order and Paradox
Hallikainen (co_martsu)'s apology would have sounded sincere if she, among other things, showed that CO did its best, and that Paradox is to blame for the issues; she’d be feeding Paradox to the wolves/userbase, but there are ways to do that without losing face. She didn’t - and in the process she’s issuing that corporate apology to protect the butts of both companies at the same time.
It’s all bullshit for gullible people.
Yup, full agree on that. But the gullible people keep pre-ordering their bloody games, and here’s the result.
