Frustrations with Cities Skylines 2 are starting to boil over among city builder fans and content creators alike: "It's insulting to have a game release that way" (www.gamesradar.com)

Yeah it was a huge mistake luanching without mod and custom asset support. It was what made CS1 popular and endure so long, and was a core part of its success.

I played a huge amount of CS1 and I was very excited about CS2. But I've lost interest very quickly in CS2.

The whole thing comes across as corporate greed and bad management - a small team pushed to release on an unrealistic schedule. It is also a huge mistake to have spend so much time working on and promising console releases - it's seemingly just hobbled and compromised the launch of the main platform which is PC. And if it's in this state on PC it'll be even worse on console - they could do even more damage to the games reputation and success if they are distracted trying to fix those versions while the released game is in such a bad state.
