Frustrations with Cities Skylines 2 are starting to boil over among city builder fans and content creators alike: "It's insulting to have a game release that way"

Cities: Skylines 2 is stretching the patience of fans further than ever, but there's still hope for "a No Man's Sky redemption arc"

Yeah, and the people like me who haven't bought it are pissed. That game had a lot of potential to fix C:S 1's flaws, which was squandered to performance issues.
Buy the game, can't complain because you are a filthy PrE-ORdErEr. Don't buy the game, can't complain because you didn't buy the game. What kind of logic is that?

Believe me I know, I've been seeing this crusade for over a decade now (I think it was TotalBuiscuit who started it?).
However I do not see a reason to use such a dismissive tone when there is nothing in the article that implies that the customers were being "dumb" and pre-ordered or bought blindly.
Also this debacle definitely hurts CO&Paradox a lot more than they made in sales. Unlike a AAA from Ubisoft or the millionth over-marketed DayZ clone du jour, people who play strategy games do follow the gaming press so future sales will be impacted. In fact, EA conspicuously hasn't released a new SimCity after 2013's disaster (C:S surely played a role in this as well by releasing in 2015, but they wouldn't have eaten up all the customer base if SimCity 2013 had been half as good as SimCity 4).
Don't pre-order.
Simple as.
I didn't even BUY the damn game and the fact that you feel the need to say this regardless shows that the only thing you care about is virtue signalling. Congratulations on your moral high ground.
Okiedokie, I guess that makes total sense and isn't it's own form of virtue signalling against the argument that people shouldn't pre-order, you really explained your position and showed me!
