“In Cities: Skylines II in particular, we are well aware that lately we have not met the players’ expectations in this area; this will not stay the case.”

Huh, the forum bans and whatnot kinda signaled the opposite, that they don't intend to fix anything. I guess this makes it all better then...

Sounds just like Gaijin... although now that I think about it, this sounds worse than Gaijin.

I love Paradox' games but man, I really hate Paradox sometimes. I bought all the Stellaris DLCs at the time while they were on sale (about $100, I think it was everything before the update that added espionage) thinking I was supporting the development of intergalactic space genocide & intelligent life cannibalism game, but the more I got into the community the more I realize... the devs kinda fuck the community over a lot. I would normally think "wow, they're making so many great hits at the same time, the games might be extremely buggy but they really deserve credit" but as time goes on I start to see them more like I see every AAA studio. I guess that's all you can expect when the company's stocks are public.

Also imo you shouldn't have to pay $300 to experience the full game god damn it! Although they do allow you to play as if you have most DLC when the host does, so I can't say it's immorally greedy. It's something I can appreciate.
