Price

[Maldeus]

Hello, I have a question, do you think the current price of the game is a bit too high for an early access game? I know that the creators have to earn money, but if the game cost, for example, 100 and not 150, then more people would buy it, like me, and later when the game comes out, the creators could raise the stakes. Write what you think.

Not high at all. The game gives so pleasure that I have forgotten about price ant EA

cheaper as it should be if you ask me ^^

For a foregin niche train sim I was surprised it was only this much.

[Red1Alpha]

Cost as any other train DLC at present, Except here you get way more trains and track to run! You are aslo supporting the team.

Price for this Great Game is OK !

[SpeedyRetreat]

I always measure it in game time to see if it truly was worth it. I have played 36 hours in the last three days, so the price is right for me! Also, anyone know what outside looks like?

Not high at all if you consider what other train simulators charge for short route DLCs full of bugs and issues.

EA is not about selling numbers. Quite the opposite: You want to get the dedicated people, who have followed the development from the start and want to explore something unfinished, give feedback, etc. You do exactly NOT want the people who buy it because it is cheap, look into it for 15 minutes, realise they are not yet at the "endgame" and then trash it at best, or start ranting and flaming at worst. In this regard the price seems to be well balanced. There are many examples where EA prize was way too low.

With that much rolling stock and track lenght the price should be higher even in early access stage, if you compare it a TSW route, most of the TSW routes are not much better then an early access game bugwise ;)

Excellent Value........ There is so much to do in the game I love it !

I think the price is perfect, a real bargain because I expected a much higher price.

I feel like the price is absolutely justified given the immense detail and sheer volume of content on offer. Single player shows great potential and the online mode makes the game super re-playable and addictive given how unpredictable each session is. I'm hooked! :D

The price is just right you are actually getting a sophisticated multi player rail sim that is in development with the dev team obviously working hard to make improvements and develop it. I feel that part of the experience is the fact that you feel part of that development and are part of a growing community. As already mentioned above DLC on rival platforms for a single route now costs the same as SimRail and I find it easy to justify the present cost even though it is an early access release.

Yes and no - I would say. For this price you will get 500 km of railway with nice landscape and high quality train models. Also - very well-functioning multiplayer. Multiplayer was promised by DTG since TSW prototype - after years we have TSW3 and it's still not delivered.

On the other hand you have similar price (or a little higher) for TSW3 - 3 different routes (85 miles in USA, 89 miles in UK and 186 km in Germany - total: 360 km). Single player only.

Both games have bugs - but the difference is, that SimRail is working on it even at weekends. DTG do nothing and release another bugged line and scenarios.

In my opinion this early access should be cheaper, because of its state. But the blame should be on PlayWay and its business models. PlayWay have almost 60% shares of SimRail team and count for similar aggressive monetization like by DTG. We can only have hope for final product with better quality and better community treatment.

"Soon" should be added German route, and in plans is American route. But they want outsource them - and main focus of original SimRail team goes for fixing stuff.

That's just my opinion. Pick whatever suits you better.
