Colossal Order announced that it will no longer be working on Cities: Skylines 2. Iceflake Studios will handle its post-launch support and development.
The size of their staff going from 1 to 2 made no sense to me with how much grander scale of a simulation they spoke of. It seemed unrealistic before launch and to this day they still seem to be struggling with it. Really screwed the pooch. Paradox for being penny pinchers for what could have become their Civilization in regards to beloved hyper geeky but high selling type of game. Colossal Order for not growing up and then trying to play off criticisms with how they’re a hunky dory scrappy small indie developer that can’t staff up for the AAA scope sequel of a hit of a game with major amounts of DLC. Self infantalization are for your early 20s
They’re saying Cities Skylines could have filled a niche similar to the Civilization series, with a modest but devoted following. Cities Skylines 2 was set up to be a AAA game in scope, but neither the publisher nor the developer were willing to put the resources and work into making it happen.

Hm? It seems to make sense to me.

On 2nd read, you’re right, it could actually have been written that way
