I feel your pain. This game has essentially developed into "France & Scandinavia Truck Simulator" for me. :P
I go back to the old parts too, but it has become quite rare. Except for switching between France and Scandinavia of course. lol
France, Scandinavia and of course ATS are just so much better.....
What I dislike most about the old map is the ridiculously annoying and unrealistic highway exits.
I really hope their next DLC will be a general map update. New territory is always welcome, but imho an update of the old map has top priority for now. Especially for Germany since its the oldest and worst part (it's actually from the 2010 game "German Truck Simulator") and at the same time the heart of the map, that connects all the parts that are already great.
And then, maybe all the traffic signs on the highways would make sense, because right now Germany suffers from some road signs over the lanes which are trully confusing...
While this wouldn't be and isn't a problem with the way the game currently is (singleplayer) once SCS starts to move towards the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MP feature they're gradually working on with the contract system/world of trucks that's when such a scenario would become an issue.
Germany along with every other part of the default base game only requires the single purchase of the game itself, nothing more. If SCS creates a version of Germany (or any country in the default base game) that would require payment that would mean that there would be two version of the same country which would later be an issue if SCS intends to create something similar to what the unofficial MP mod already does based on the fact there's two different version of the same country.
Country DLC would just involve the same method that's typically used in any MMO that's ever existed but with reworks also falling into that category along with the fact there would be two versions of the same places, eh.. country DLC on its own is one thing but paid reworks is another.
There's only one rework that I can think of that would still net SCS a profit in the same process and that would be a free UK rework (seeing as we, technically speaking, already have access to all it - it's just not represented well) and an Ireland DLC which would include both the North and the South as it's, geographically speaking, a separate country even though there's political differences between the North and the South of Ireland. Not to mention several ports also connect the two countries as well which those ports would require a rework of mainland UK in order to exist thus connect the two - kind of a hybrid of what SCS did with the French rework.
Personally, I can't think of a similar method for any other rework because, from what I can tell, that sort of thing couldn't be carried out within Europe itself IE. Germany, as the surrounding countries are already there which is connected by road and aren't separate islands akin to the UK/Ireland situation. Maybe something similar could be done with Scandinavia..? I don't know enough to figure out a work around that would still bring SCS a profit while also delivering on a needed rework as well.
Hmm, I don't follow any news regarding the MP, but if SCS will one day embrace it, then I see your point and the problems that will arise. So, yeah, a little dream of mine just went down the drain. As we all know, SCS is a small company, and any plan they might've had regarding Germany, I don't think it could've been done without making it pay for. So, if they can't offer a free Germany rebuild, they can't offer it at all.
Of course, this is wild speculation, but I can't be too optimistic about it now. :(
There's vague hints towards them wanting to move towards an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MP feature with the contract system/world of trucks in one or two news posts but no one other than SCS truely knows what that would entail or when they will add another layer to what/how world of trucks currently works.
One key factor that leads me to believe they intend to eventually create a world/server(s?) we share is the fact that they hired the guy that either created or worked on the unofficial MP feature (RootKiller), which is why I think that if they choose to sell reworks similar to what they do with country DLC that would end up creating a problem way on down the line if/when they do create that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ feature.
One possibility of adding reworks to the default base map countries could be offering them as side dishes, so to speak, alongside country DLC, which has always required payment, that they would add in the future - referencing my idea of reworking the UK for free and selling an Ireland DLC, which means they would still make a profit while addressing much needed reworks of old map areas in order to bring them up to par with the newer areas until those old areas have eventually been reworked.
The only reason ATS got two free updates, or however many it was, was to apologize and make up for the delays in releasing the base game. I'm almost certain after Arizona or whatever the next one is.. New Mexico? (I don't own it) they'll be given no more special treatment and will have to cough up money in order to own future DLCs just like we do with ETS2. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if they have to start paying for the next one on.
SCS has to make money in order to pay their employees and support their business, if they can't make a profit their money will eventually run out and thus be forced to shut down. Giving everything away without having some form of revenue coming in is one way to run out of money and slowly kill a business.
Haha, with all due respect to SCS but their paintjobs are petty at best - that is the only area that they fall short in, everything else is amazing; if they could create paintjobs that mimic actual company liveries but with an SCS twist to it to avoid copyright issues or some sort of simple custom liveries in real life that would make them worth paying for (and probably increase the amount of people buying them).
For an example, the more extreme ones would be too much but something simple would be enough:

I'm near enough certain the bulk of their profits are through country DLCs, accessory DLCs etc. not their paintjobs, although I could be wrong they all add up when ye buy them in bulk so with Steam sales they probably make a killing with them as they're individually so cheap.
