Miclux, do gaming w Cities: Skylines 2 dev says they were "caught off guard" by the success of the original city-builder after it sold 40 times more than their expectations

The CEO stated, “We were completely caught off guard by the game’s success, and we did not anticipate the success in the sense that it was never meant to be such a long-term commitment.”

This entire article is just bullshit. Even the title is wrong. It weren’t the devs…it was the ceo.

The CEO represents the company that developed the game. And in this context, dev = the company that developed the game. So yeah, it’s the dev [company] talking about stuff.

Miclux,

Wrong.

Colossal Order was a company of 13 people when Cities Skylines was released. It's not like there is an out of touch CEO somewhere above 7 levels of management who has no clue what's going on with the people actually developing the game.

Miclux,

Do you really think a ceo has the same opinion like it’s employees?

As rikudou said, in the context of "The dev of X never anticipated this success and it being a long-term project even after release", the dev is the company. And for the company, the CEO is the one who has to have a plan about the success of their projects and the future commitment to old products.
And as I said, in such a small company the CEO is not someone crunching numbers, restructuring departments and having meetings with partners all over the world all day. They are pretty much one of the dev team.

0xtero,

Dev as in ”Company doing the development”. Not the company that does the publishing. Not the developer who writes code. Represented by the company CEO

Miclux,

Then write “ceo” not devs.

0xtero,

"In the interview with Colossal Order CEO"

They did. Literally.

Colossal Order = "Cities: Skylines 2 dev"

bhamlin, do games w Diablo 4 dev on winning players back with Season 2: "It feels like it's enough of a motivating factor for people to come back and play"

Season 2 is more interesting as a “they had a second season? I’m going to need more popcorn.”

Pregnenolone, do games w Diablo 4 dev on winning players back with Season 2: "It feels like it's enough of a motivating factor for people to come back and play"

At this point they need to convince me to reinstall the 100-odd gigs of game before they convince me to play it.

I played it for half an hour about three weeks ago, spent fifteen minutes of it walking across a desolate map space to an objective, died to mobs that I should have out-leveled 20 levels ago, quit, uninstalled, and haven’t bothered since.

I wanted to share my opinion here because I don’t know where to do it: Syndicate is very enjoyable! I’ve read all kinds of bad reviews about it, but now that I’m playing it I like it a lot. Just my humble opinion from a guy more into the original AC mechanics, not the open world approach.

Oof, that's a pretty low bar.

Yep, why?!

Will wait for the Switch 2 port

Renacles, do xbox w This website has the interactive Starfield maps that should've been in the game

It’s kinda wild seeing people complain about Skyrim’s maps being too detailed and then seeing this thread.

People just like to complain. It’s in our nature.

cutecycle, do games w Bayonetta director Hideki Kamiya thinks Japanese devs should be proud of 'JRPG'

now we’re talking.

Wait… they were not proud of JRPG’s before ?

Nefyedardu,

Yoshi P, game directory for FFXIV and FFXVI, famously decried the term. Which is probably why FFXVI has basically no RPG elements.

HawlSera, do gaming w THOSE GAMES is a pitch-perfect parody of "those games"

I’m actually legitimately excited to play the games I was promised ages ago, but never got, it’s like the DNF leak all over again! Yay!

    Excited for you! I know a lot of folks are pretty “meh” on VR, but I’ve been using it for at least the past 6-7 years and it just keeps getting better. The magic never wears off. Have some fun with it when you get it, and remember to take breaks!
