Based on some other things I've heard, it sounds like their "roadmap" post-release is basically non-existent. They didn't even have a topographic contour lines view on the development roadmap until a bunch of YouTubers complained about their absence.
It’s distressing how many people are stupid enough to think this game is going to be feature complete on launch.
Yeah, imagine how stupid it is to think a game would be feature complete on launch! Never mind the entire history of computer gaming up to the blatant rip-off cash grabs of the last few years...
damn. I was hoping for options to make carless cities, things like having am option or a type of walking path that will also place housing squares, something like that
You can make a city without private vehicles. There's pedestrian roads and public transit. Early on it looks silly seeing huge parking lots on low density commercial connected to a pedestrian street.
Many of us love building beautiful fantasy cities. And it suck when you can only build cities that are worse that reality.
Ok. I do understand, that there is not every mode of transportation from the start. But biking and walking!?
I think, people are especially worried that it's an afterthought. Many of the most dedicated city builder fans do want to play around with different modes of transport. It's quite the contemporary topic in city design.
And so, yes, those folks would have probably preferred other features to be left out and rather bikes to be part of the core game.
It's odd you used SimCity because the expansions are two skin addition bundles and updating the modding tool.
I think I understand what you're trying to say, but "feature complete" isn't the term. While "stuff was added" to boxed copies back in the 80s and 90s, it wasn't to the degree you see today.
Also consider most boxed copies didn't see updates. They didn't until the early 2000s because most people didn't have (reliable) internet access. Hell I played a different version of Counter Strike than a friend of mine for months because his internet was awful and his download kept failing.

Thanks for your feedback. We'll have to adjust where in the roadmap priority we put walking.

That’s kind of a dumb move tbh

I'd really rather go there and read text than stay here and squint at images. Link?

Unless I'm mistaken, aren't the devs Scandinavian? It's really... Really weird if they are but omitted bikes from CS2.

It more and more looks like this game is dead on arrival for me. What a disappointment all around.
