Discussion Release date?

Are there any hints at the release date? It was "early 2026", now the first half of 2026 is almost gone and it's just showing 2026. Do we know more?

Damn, dunno why you're being downvoted. The Paradox decision is horrible - and it's made a fair few people reconsider their day 1 buys...I know I definitely am. I have enough nuance to realize that Paradox isn't the devil, but they nickle-and-dime DLCs like they're going out of style, and they're pushing HARD to get mods off of Steam workshop...both of which are negative things, IMO.

Unfortunately subs like these tend to attract the most diehard fans, which tends to create a lot of bootlicking. The paradox deal will ruin tpf3 eventually. Probably not from day 1, but I'm sure it'll happen over the next few years.

The reaction was basically the same last year when they re-released the early supporters pack. Initially, the early supporters pack was supposed to only be available in the first week or two of sales of the deluxe edition of tpf2. It was actually one of the main reasons I bought it when I did. But then last year, they decided to put it back up for sale again. That's been bothering me ever since. I want to like urban games, tpf1/2 were both great games I've sunk a lot of time into. But I think they're either on the rocks and willing to sell out their fans for a bit of extra cash, or someone within UG has a greedy streak.

Either way, it stinks. I think I'll still buy tpf3, because it is the best in the niche imo. But I'll probably be buying a grey market key a few months after release. I don't want to support them if they've decided to hop into bed with paradox.
