Its been out for a long time now, and so many people who play it now might have forgotten - or simply be unaware of - the perfect storm that surrounded its launch, it arrived in 2015, while Sim City (2013) was still fresh in the memories of city-building fans In fact, it was apparently the bumpy launch of Sim City which prompted the greenlight for Cities: Skylines.
