That doesn't seem surprising...

1 has been released eight years ago, 2 was only just released.

1 has requirenments that most people seem to have computers capable of running it, 2 does not.

Also 1 has mods.

So, so, so many mods.

And the base game has been several degrees of given-away-for-peanuts for long stretches over that period of time.

It was in a Bundle just before the launch of 2 as well

Not to mention I'd wager a fairly large portion of city skylines 2 players are playing through game pass and wouldn't be counted here anyway

[–] GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

This is the main reason I haven't even entertained buying 2.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not to mention that one has all the DLC that make the game actually fun

And mods. There are a TON of mods for CS1.

And C:S 2 sparked the interest to revist the first game in many.
