Cities Skylines 2 dev says it stuck to the original CS2 launch date despite expecting potential backlash, and details a patch to address performance issues.
‘Despite the technical problems outlined in our own review of Cities Skylines 2, Colossal Order says the game is “ready enough to be released.”’
Next time they’re at a restaurant someone should bring them undercooked chicken that looks done on the outside but is raw in the center. When they complain? “The chicken was ready enough to serve”
It’s a bit like developing a microwave meal and it turns out that it only really cooks in 2 minutes if you have an ultra powerful microwave then putting out a press release that says I know it says it’ll cook in 2 minutes on the packaging but unless you have a really powerful microwave add a few minutes to it.
The responsibility is still on the players to have reasonable expectations of the game depending on the hardware that they have.
Also it’s 100% my fault for pre-ordering the damn thing, I don’t know why I did that. But that’s on me because if I really wanted to I could have refunded it.
Hey guys the chicken is going to be undercooked depending on your tableware so don’t order it yet if you think your chicken will end up undercooked.
I’M GONNA ORDER THE CHICKEN! WHY IS THIS CHICKEN UNDERCOOKED? WHY WASN’T I WARNED?

Quite the hyperbolic comparison you’ve got there
Imperfect game is as bad as potentially fatal food poisoning, obviously.
my dad died from playing Cyberpunk on release RIP in peace
Hey dude, Colossal Order and Paradox gave them salmonella, how could you be so callous!
It’s not quite the same thing though is it.

A better comparison would be a raw steak when the customer asked for medium well.
