    They seriously blamed the customers, anybody but themselves for this boondoggle.

        https://www.gamesradar.com/cities-skylines-2-dev-says-it-has-seen-a-growing-tendency-of-toxicity-in-the-city-builder-community-asks-players-to-be-kind/

        We have seen a growing tendency of toxicity in our community, something we have not experienced to this extent before," the CEO writes. “Not only directed towards our devs but also our fellow community members - resulting in people hesitating to engage with the community.”

        Read through Steam, forum, etc. comments. The vast majority are not toxic, her statement is ridiculous. Customers are angry and we just want our damn money back for this fraud of a game. Instead of recognizing that and/or doing anything to take responsibility, CO has made enemies of literally hundreds of thousands of customers.

        As time goes in, it’s clear that CO is too incompetent to fix the game in any reasonable time frame. The game is in Alpha/EA state right now at best. The list of broken things, and how incredibly broken they are, is nothing short of embarrassing. Someone needs to clean house, starting with removing their out of touch clown of a CEO and culling most of their “leadership.”

        I’m waiting and hoping for a class action lawsuit for fraud and misrepresentation of the product.
