No multiplayer in Cities Skylines 2 Discussion

So Colossal Order have answered a few question which were submitted for month of March. The most intresting one was this one when asked if there will be mutiplayer in CS2? And the reply indicates for now there seem to be no multiplayer option as it would take too much time and resources.

They've made millions off DLC for CS1. I would have liked to have seen that reinvested in a team branched off to focus on some type of multiplayer. Trading with friends cities or some online global economy would have been fun.

EDIT: And before others jump in to defend, there is demand because CSM is an incredibly popular mod for pc, and all the "[x] creators, 1 save file" videos by you tubers show definitive interest in the idea.

I'd challenge the "incredibly popular" part of your statement. It has about 5% of the subscribers of Move It.

It's very simple: if they don't do it, it's because they don't think it's profitable. There isn't really more about it. It's a company, its goal is to make as much money as possible, they have seasoned professionals deciding the best way to achieve that goal, so when they do X or they don't do Y, rest assured they have analyzed the topic for a long time, discussed for a long time, and finally decided, again, what they think it's most profitable.

Of course they can make mistakes, but let me trust them more than random redditors.
