Cities: Skylines is the best selling title for Paradox Interactive and Shams Jorjani – VP of Acquisition at Paradox – revealed how the company will fight back piracy, as well as the percentage of pirated copies for Cities: Skylines these first two days.
BLG writes, "Cities: Skylines II is a very worthy sequel to the popular 2015 city-building that improves upon the original. It could stand to use some quality-of-life updates, performance optimization, and mod support, but don't let that deter you from diving in."
If you enjoyed the last entry and its myriad DLC packs, here's a closer look at the difference between Cities Skylines 1 and 2.
The abundance of dlc is what keeps me from buying these games early , I'll pass. I will wait until a complete edition is available. Love these types of games though.
Well..that means you have to wait for probably 7 years..and even than its not sure there is a complete edition. Even now..8! years after the release of the first game..you have to pay 325€ for the game with all so far released dlc.
I'm fine with that my backlog goes back to snes, your also missing base game is practically free and dlc goes on sale constantly. Cities skyline 1 alone with dlc can be had way way cheaper then what you stated.
Well if you're a console owner you don't need to worry because it's been delayed until at least spring of 24 and they've refunded all console preorders. I was refunded even though I never asked for one which kind of makes me wonder if they can even get cities working properly on console's.
They've also upped the recommended specs for pc
From GameWatcher: "Tetris has come to Cities: Skylines, courtesy of one player's creative use of stop motion and in-game screenshots to put together a short clip that attracted a lot of attention from the city builder's community.
It all unfolds against a rather flowery background, reminiscent of a welcoming park or garden in which you can relax. Tetris pieces leave their box at the top of a green rectangular arena, gently making their way to the bottom. When they form a complete row, they flash before disappearing."
They should put code in to detect if it's pirated or not then reformat their hard drive for them.
No excuse for pirating games this cheap! common guys you can get it for £13 quid!
Unless you wanted to try before you buy then I personally have no problem with that, most games don't have demo's or anyway to try them before you buy. They need to bring demo's back in my opinion.
Cities Skylines is Paradox's fast selling game to date with 250k sales on first day.
Developers should be working with their communities and not trying to chase after the pirates who could be a potential buyers in the future.
Just forget about the pirates, the more effort you put into stopping piracy the less effort goes into the game before, during and after development.
Seriously, the game is cheap and incredibly good value from day one. If you've pirated this game, you should buy it immediately to support the devs. If you can't afford it, then guess what: you're not entitled to play it. Save some money on candy and pop, put it in this instead. It's a genre niche enough to get effed should publishers decide to use counter-measures like F2P.
hows it compare to simcity?
