This is a different game.

Economy 2.0 is good but this is a new game. Disappointed that devs can release a game like this and then fix it later.

Feel the same.

People who purchased before gotta completely different game and then it will probably go on sale in the summer when the updates have arrived and dlc is on the cards.

Should have been early access and cheaper then no problem.

Personally, I will give the update a try. It sounds good to me. My biggest complaint was nothing mattered.

Its not really a new game, its the underlying sim what is really changing. When this drops, there will now be more of a challenge, so decisions matter. Obviously enough people didn't like the no cost gameplay where you could build to your hearts content and still be earning money whilst services are imported for free. So they have changed it. Guarantee the next complaints will be from those who keep going bankrupt now

The rest of the changes are more improvements and more granularity to the mechanics, meaning we get more control in how things work.

It should be a good update in my opinion. But there will be many, especially on here lol, that will take offence at the update.

Different sure. But for me, closer to what I expected. I wasn't expecting outside services ruining everything and subsidies taking away any challenge.

Eh those people won't be missed, it was super easy and boring before, didn't need any services and you could just keep getting free money regardless of how good or bad the city actually was lol

I think they figured out that the game that was not made for me was not made for many at all, and are finally changing it into a game made for me.

Hurrah!

It's not only a different game, the bigger problem might be that we all need to start with a new city, as the massive changes for sure will make already existing cities collapse..

That will be the most interesting thing, is seeing what happens to existing cities..

Apparently, CP addressed this. You can use an existing save, just don't leave it running in the background for a few hours, you will probably have to monitor closely to put out a few fires as the sim starts to change.

Definitely the game I expected with economy 2.0. I've played this game for 112 hours so have started multiple times. Subsidies made the game way too easy. Let's go Cities!
