    For all saying the content pack is scummy, first the devs that work on things like this are not the same fixing bugs and issues, working on mod tools etc. Second, this pack is part of the Ultimate Edition, which plenty of people paid for already. It’d be really scummy to NOT release this in a timely fashion for the people who already spent their money expecting it.

    I honestly don’t get the outrage at a freaking content pack that doesn’t affect anything at all…

      If the game has as many bugs as people say, then the devs working on this should instead be supporting on fixing issues. Reallocate your resources. Obviously they dont have the same skillsets but lets not pretend that nothing could have been done differently

        Ah yes, just take a 3D modeller and reassign them to bug fixing. That’ll work out great. While we’re at it, your mechanic should start handling lung transplants since we’re short on doctors.

        The people who work on asset packs are artists… what the hell can they do regarding bug fixes?

          Gamers don’t understand software development and it shows

          (You’re absolutely right)

      I mean, there’s obviously the stupid outrage of the “Why did they do this instead of fixing bugs?” variety (as if 3D artists can be reassigned to coding), but there’s also, I think, an absolutely justifiable resentment at being asked to pay $10 for an absolutely tiny handful of assets. Like, apparently this is something like ten buildings and four trees? That’s fucking weak. At around $3-$5 I think people would be fine with it, but $10 is just taking the piss.

    I’ll just go play the first Cities Skylines. I didn’t have many complaints with that one and still love it.

    Except for traffic. That shit is a nightmare.

      It was released along side mods (a very slow first party mod manager) so I guess they think it makes it better. The mods are good and it’s a nice thing that they don’t depend on the steam workshop anymore but they don’t excuse releasing a £10 dlc along side it that just adds more skins for low density houses when the game still doesn’t work
