 What are the chances of CS2 getting DLSS/FSR? I wouldn’t mind some decreased fidelity for less GPU load.

not going to be purchasing CS2 until CO brings back the garbage bandaid implementation of the park/industry/campus zone mechanic and the useless fishing boats

Despite all this, I still have a strange compulsive urge to play. I hope they keep at it.

Great effort post. I share your sentiment too.

 Nord-Dakota is famous for its chicken veins.

My homerish take is that CO started as a tiny indie company (like 3 people) making small scoped games in Cities In Motion 1 and 2, caught on to a huge success with Cities: Skylines, still as a small company, and rode that wave on to many DLC and big plans for Cities: Skylines 2.

For C:S2 they set the scope much larger, expanded to be a much larger team, and chose new Unity frameworks that they thought would be helpful (https://blog.paavo.me/cities-skylines-2-performance/#summary-and-conclusions), but ended up not being ready for production when they were coming up to their original target date.

They got too successful, ran head first in to greatly expanding their company, didn't refine or evolve their processes, ran in to development delays with covid and Unity stuff, and were forced to release this game underbaked. Growing pains in a growing company that has to capitalize on a big success.

My other hot take, as I've said before, is that they were always kinda mediocre as a games development studio. Cities: Skylines 2 kinda sucks as a game, and they've never really had to think outside the box and refine their games, they've been making them in the same vein since Cities In Motion 1. The gameplay of C:S1 is shallow, and they never really evolved it from the base game -- aside from the Industries DLC which did actually add a cool industries loop, but the lead designer for that also seems to have left the company before C:S2, so who knows if there's any smoke there.
