Cities Skylines: Parklife
Rob86 replied to Giveaway412's topic in Cities: Skylines General Discussion
it's the Paradox curse. There are always people defending them by saying CO is a small company or it is a niche product. Like you said, and as i said elsewhere, 5m for PC alone makes it top-25 of all time PC game sales. Some people also defend that Paradox needs to make money or has no money. They must have made 5x over their budget by now, and Paradox something like USD30m in profits annually or something -

if they have actually 'answered' , we wouldn't be asking the same questions. Last time people asked why were updates and fixes slow, they replied they were on holiday. -

most people want word on a sequel rather than another half-baked DLC but the developers seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. (probably holidaying somewhere else again)- 63 Replies

Did 'Cities Skylines' Kind of Kill The City Builder Genre For a While?
Rob86 replied to calpolyfan's topic in Cities: Skylines General Discussion
to put it in perspective, Cities Skyline has sold more than 5 million copies (not including console). It is not a hardcore niche title, even though at times we label ourselves as elitist gamers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_PC_games now, if only one of the few gaming powerhouses would pick up this genre. as for CO, it feels as if they had ran off with the unexpected deluge of money -
What do you want in Cities: Skylines?
Rob86 replied to AidanA28's topic in Cities: Skylines General Discussion
i just want CO to tell us of their development plan in plain simple straightforward English. -
Did 'Cities Skylines' Kind of Kill The City Builder Genre For a While?
Rob86 replied to calpolyfan's topic in Cities: Skylines General Discussion
it is strange for so many people (not on this forum but elsewhere where the conversation is more raucous, to put it midly) to defend CO's deficiencies and relying on the defense that their team is small whenever questions on code fixes, and natural upgrades only do-able on sequels comes up AND yet Paradox has been earning dozens of millions of USD in after-tax profit annually. Too many buyers are just content, sometimes even reverential to CO, that there is a successor to SimCity 2013. having Paradox is a publisher is a double-edged sword. They did pick up an once forgotten genre after all, but it is Paradox with their half decade long sequel development targets, which by then all the talent would had left . And of course , Paradox being Paradox, is much more interested in milking the franchise for all the DLCs it can squeeze. even till now, SimCity 4 with cc looks and simulate better than C:S. -

More on EA/Maxis regarding the game always having to be online for the simulation to work properly.
Rob86 replied to Charizard's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion
anyone tried to check how long do you need to be online to sync after going offline for 19 mins? imagine if it was only 30s ..lol -
when talking about EA, the pessimist is usually right.

The fans are being very unfair

the journalist is just a naive optimist.

EA very careful not to state the initial number of regions available for play.

a completely locked down micro + addon "enhanced" ala Sim3-esque game + a high potential of $$$ from impulsive buyers = Sims 4 + Simcity 5 = $$$ for shareholders
