Cities: Skylines 2 Developer Warns of Growing Community Toxicity

Colossal Order may reduce social platform engagement if toxicity continues, while seeking community suggestions for improvement.

Cities: Skylines 2 developer, Colossal Order, has expressed concern over a 'growing tendency of toxicity' within the game's community, a trend not previously experienced to this extent.
The toxicity is not only directed towards the developers but also towards fellow community members, resulting in hesitation to engage with the community and potentially discouraging creativity and modding.
The company has indicated that if the toxicity continues, developers may stop using social platforms to interact with fans, with the priority being to protect the team and ensure a safe working environment.
Colossal Order has asked the community for suggestions on how to improve communication between developers and players, and how to reduce toxicity, such as giving constructive feedback and being kind to others in the fandom.
Cities: Skylines 2 was released in October 2023, with console versions planned for release in the second quarter of 2024. The game has faced performance issues and bugs, but the company assures that fixes will continue throughout the game's lifetime.
