The Eiffel tower does not belong to SCS Software. Unless they want to pay to put it in the game, they can't put it in.

It would be nice if they could put it in just so we could see it and maybe drive by it.

The Eiffel tower is trademarked, they cannot just add it to the game without negotiating a licensing agreement.

If you are in Leipzig you see the big MDR biulding too so I don't know why it doesn't belong to the software of SCS. But yup...

Look up "Paris rebuild 2.1" in maps section of mods, better layout and the tower is illuminated at night, Malc. p.s. it's one of Grimes mods.

You moan about lack of Eiffel Tower but clearly know little about Paris. IF you did you'd know there is no where in the game where the Eiffel Tower would be visible to a truck driver.

Licensing is not the issue. In fact the Eiffel Tower doesn't require one as the tower itself is not a trademark or copyright. What is copyright however are the lights. This is why it is fine to take photos of it in daylight but illegal at night.

If there was anywhere on the default map where the Eiffle Tower was visible, they could use it so long as they either didn't include lights or just made sure they didn't copy the real ones. The Eiffle Tower WAS in the game before the rebuild btw.

Hey 1000's of games get around license issues by creating similar versions with the name altered - like "triffel tower" (hey I'm British what do you expect!) So they could have easily put something visual in which looked like the eiffel tower.

SCS already (almost) got into trouble doing that with some trucks. They're better off not doing that again (with any content).

i just cant understand why would you need a licience for a sodding building

As said before, it's not technically the tower itself that's "licensed", it's the lights. (yes, that's bonkers, but that's how it is)

A similar situation for the Hollywood sign. Does it prevent anyone from taking pictures? No. But publishing pictures of it, you're forfeiting your rights to the pictures.
