I absolutely love the concept of both the cities skylines titles.
But I absolutely hate the monetization scheme of Sims-esque countless add-ons.

Is there a single Paradox title that doesn't do exactly this?
This is so fucked up that it's devs that get thrown out of the project and not the middleman that is publisher.
Wow... it just keeps happening to these folks.
Kind of sucks that builder games are an open target for long-term monetization schemes. Which this team clearly doesn't feel like supporting.
I wish them luck with their next iteration of city builder.
