Video: Why Cities: Skylines won't sell you DLC in bits and pieces

Sustainable development.

Cities: Skylines saw its first expansion revealed at last week's Gamescom and it's looking like something we'd rather like to play. It's called 'After Dark' and introduces a whole list of changes including a day/night cycle, leisure and beach specialisations, and most importantly, BUS LANES.
