Cities: Skylines 2 "absolutely cannot" have the decade of DLC features that the original game added

Don't expect the city-building sequel to totally match everything that came with the original game

I like their DLC policies.

The base game gets updated over a period of what, 10 years? Core gameplay mechanics which don’t work well or at least don’t make the developers happy are tweaked or revamped all the time. I only really play Stellaris, but the changes to the game throughout the years have kept things interesting.

The alternative is… not updating things which they don’t like? Perhaps that means mods never break, but then we’re shifting the onus of fixing the game to a third party, who can decide to quit whenever they want and let their (closed source) code deprecate. I’ve seen that kind of thing in Civ and I wasn’t a fan.

I guess with a studio that has demonstrated a pattern of long-term support for their games, this is what we get.
