PC Game not optimized? Release it anyway! (Cities Skylines II PC system requirements analysis) (www.youtube.com)

So new system requirements. Not only are the new system requirements really demanding, but they are also really embarrassing. To release a game in a state like this is crazy, but at this point it has become a habit of companies.

But they were completely transparent about it before release. That’s more than you get from any other studio in the same position. Preordered it? You’ve been told for years to not preorder. At this point, you’re just an idiot.

As much as I hate the DLC bloat Paradox suffers in most games, goddamn do they do a lot of right listening to their base and being a generally good company. The CS community is so insanely well supported by the company, I honestly wish it was more prevalent (like R* !!!).

Ohh don't get me wrong, it's good that they are transparent about this. I know that if it was up to the devs, they probably would have loved to have more time for optimization before releasing the game. It's just sad that this is the state the game is being released in.

Cool they were transparent about releasing an unfinished game. But they still released an unfinished game. They could be transparent and then wait until it's finished before releasing.

Yeah, but then the internet, being a buncha toxic-ass shit patties it is, would complain about that, maybe not as much, granted, but there’s still going to be a shit-humping dork out there that so pissed off they start seeking emails to send death threats to. I know how you people act. Reddit, Twitter, Lemmy, all o’ ya’s.

Being transparent is good. The need to be transparent is bad.
