Ahead of the city builder’s release on October 24, the devs want to “manage expectations on performance.”

    Yeah thanks for the heads up, I’ll buy it in a year after release, when it’s patched, for 50% discount on a steam sale. Or maybe in two years foe that botched launch apology hit discount of 70%.

    I’m more worried about it being a traffic simulator more than a city builder like the first one without any expansions. I would like to design a city I want to live in. It’s good to be honest about performance at least.

    I love the first one so much that I’ll buy this thing regardless so I don’t really care if it sucks at launch or not I’m going to enjoy it for a number of years

    Usually that means: We didn’t hire enough devs for optimization, didn’t allocate enough time for it and prioritized marketing.

      Their marketing has been awful though. They had a great build up with all the deep dive videos… Then nothing for a month?!?

      I originally thought it was going to come out a month ago, just after the end of the videos, then was shocked to find out it was still a month away.

      I guess they wanted some time so they could address any feedback they got?
