This is a paradox published game sooo I’d guess it’ll include some stuff, but it’ll be a cold day in hell before they release a game with everything included
Their brilliant strategy just forces me to wait until dlc is like a buck on sale. Seems like exactly what you don’t want from customer behavior but what do I know.
What you want as a customer is to have a great game, that generates enough money so the studio can continue working on it for years to come.
Yea, I think people forget how much each update to the game has added to the "base" game. Because off the DLC, Cities Skylines has had 17 major updates over the last 10 years. Each of those updates fixed bugs and added new features to the game. They were funded by the DLC, but you don't even have to buy the DLC to benefit!
