Cities: Skylines 2 devs considered release delay to boost performance, but decided it's "not a dealbreaker"

Let's be clear, though: developers did not make this decision. Managers and publishers did.

I get their argument that a city builder may not need high frame rates, but the 5-10 fps people have been reporting doesn't seem ideal either. The management definitely should have given the devs time to work out these issues, but I'd imagine the profits they made from going ahead with the launch will outweigh any criticisms.

It is for me.

No whining, no drama, just no sale, like many others will do. This move creates doubts about what other problems were considered acceptable. The first game is pretty good, and waiting a bit will likely see a discount and possibly a better game.

I think they underestimated how dramatic this community can be. Which is surprising considering the map size whining that happened.
