8 years later, the devs are still surprised by how the successful the original game was

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.

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

Then write "ceo" not devs.

"In the interview with Colossal Order CEO"

They did. Literally.

Colossal Order = "Cities: Skylines 2 dev"
