    Cities Skylines 2 went the opposite direction.

    Here’s hoping lessons are learned. Entire generations have learned to be deeply skeptical even with trusted brands.

    And, yes, I hope that skepticism and relationship based, authentic(?) word of mouth brings sanity for a while.

    Until businesses try to optimize that into oblivion too. We gotta put guard rails in place.
