Paradox apologizes for latest Cities: Skylines 2 boondoggle, will give refunds for the Beach Properties DLC: '[We] hope we can regain your trust going forward'

. Players already irritated by the state of the game felt the DLC—an asset pack, with no new features—wasn't worth its $10/£8.49 price, and predictably a new wave of negative reviews flowed into Steam.

In a way, that promised meeting with Cities: Skylines 2 influencers could be seen as something of a turnaround for Colossal Order: In January Hallikainen warned thatamong players could force developers to"pull back" from engaging with the community. At the same time, Hallikainen also expressed hope that"we can all work together for our devs to be able to stay and be continuously active," so perhaps her caution was heeded.

The big challenge facing Paradox and Colossal is that they absolutely did botch Cities: Skylines 2, badly, and talk is very cheap. In October 2023, the day after it launched, Colossal Order said the game's performance issues"." Yet those issues have persisted: Post-launch patches have improved performance, but it's still not great for a lot of players.
