This is but their legit response was "dunno, that wasn't supposed to happen but it kinda did, maybe don't do anything now, we'll try to fix it sometimes", so this is not that far:

developer response: "Hi all! I just wanted to pop in and let you know we're looking into what's happened as you were of course supposed to keep access to the Beach Properties content until the patch that moves it to the base game arrived. Assets are replaced by the placeholder boxes, but as the waterfront zoning isn't available in the base game yet, I recommend holding off on loading saves with a lot of those zones. At this time we don't have an ETA for when this is resolved, but at the very least the upcoming patch (date still to be announced) will resolve it as the assets become part of the base game. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience this is causing!

While the risks you describe are correct, it would seem that in some places the landlord expects an annual return of around 10%. That looks like an insanely high number to me and I don't think that the risk is this big.

That would probably mean that the pay is much less unless the maintenance is required every other day

Well, obviously you assign nicer properties to those who did you favours in the past

Also, you can make all the houses equally undesired so that a true equality is achieved

screenshot of a comment in the thread mocking a reply from developer: "Change management is particularly difficult with games like Cities Skylines 2. It's the most complete in depth city simulation ever written. There are a lot of moving parts and with its agent based deep simulation change management is a challenge. It's difficult to see in advance that removing game assets from the game will result in the unavailability of said assets in game.No doubt the there there was a change management procedure prepared in advance that was reviewed by all stakeholders. But this was such an edge case, removing assets resulting in the unavailability of said assets in game, that this interruption simply couldn't have been for foreseen.It won't be long now. In last week's update CO announced its intent to form an advisory panel, including members of the Cities community. CO will be able to leverage this expertise when formulating its rollback strategy. It's a solid bet that forming this advisory panel will be on COs agenda in the next couple weeks and we will see content creators showcasing a pre-release rollback in the months that follow.CO has committed to fixing core game features before the release of Bridges and Piers in Q1 of 2025 and we have every reason to believe this commitment is firm. Certainly we will see Beach Properties assets return to Skylines 2 by Q4 2024 or at the latest as an update to the base game released simultaneously with Bridges and Piers in Q1 of 2025."

This is just gold 🤣

Yeah, a lot of predators are running against the clock and can't afford to lose too many times.

I'd say only the species that live off humans are less affected by resource limitations, but you're right, I keep forgetting how hard it is for animals:

comic where human sees a bird and wishes to be as free, while bird only thought is "keep flapping or die"

Not even just animals, really

“There’s definitely some policy misfires,” [Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault] said. “The government was under a lot of pressure to do something and this is the best they came up with. But now we’ve got the unintended consequences of having a whole bunch of people in Canada not wanting to go home.”

No shit, Sherlock. Good that it's just not needed anymore migrants that are going to suffer from govt failures. And if they are needed again, govt can just make another policy that misfires the same way

Man, this makes me sad and angry at the same time :(

Well, every country has its own set of incomprehensible pronunciations ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DouYin, you know, the Chinese YouTube

That's sarcasm though, as I expect them to be as malicious as YouTube

Besides, it helps a lot when voiceover is in a language you are learning or can't comprehend by hearing well enough (like Trainspotting)
