City builders and PC gaming go hand in hand all the way back to the 80s, yet players' appetite for the genre is still very much alive and kicking – as shown by current champion of the city-building games Cities: Skylines sales reaching the mammoth 12 million mark.
Cities: Skylines has been riding high among fans of city Cities: Skylines mods on offer, as well as plenty of official DLC releasing for the title.

Developer Paradox Interactive celebrated the milestone with a short video thanking players for the game's success:
