    Should never have shacked up with Paradox. They had plenty of DLC before, and putting trams in a snow map pack was despicable, but now we know to wait 3 or 4 years for a humble bundle of most stuff needed for a complete game. And if they don’t get those 3 or 4 years, it will have been their own fault.

      Eh, I thought the base C:S was pretty fun, and I honestly didn’t mind the idea of buying a DLC every so often to fund continued development.

      That said, I don’t really like the way they organize their DLC. Imo, they should work more like Paradox’s other games, with most core mechanics landing in a free patch and nice to have features being restricted to DLC (missions, unit packs, etc). For example, trams should’ve been a free feature, and the maps, scenarios, and cosmetic changes should have been part of the DLC. Or trams should’ve become available if you owned either Snowfall or Mass Transit.

      That said, I still don’t own Snowfall and don’t really miss trams, I mostly use subways, monorails, and buses, and sometimes play with trains.
