The Map DLC Prices

[Weißbrot]

Iberia DLC and its current price of 17,99€ is faire, but the same price for France, Italy, Scandinavia DLC wich offer noticeably less content/citys/features/area is absolutely unjustified.

All Map DLC´s below Iberia should cost the same as Going East DLC (9,99€).

Buy them on sale.

I know, but i missed the last sale and i think after many years of expensive price tags its time to lower them to a propper level, its just crazy how they can offer for a tiny map extension 18€.

It all depends how many hours of play and fun you get from a single map DLC. If you want to wait on a sale then there are savings to be made.

If you compare Iberia with lets say Scandinavia you musst agree that it doesnt fit its price, Scandinavia in this case is even a good case for SCS because they just have to make a update wich contains alot more northern areas or/and Finnland, Scandinavia gives SCS alot of room to justify the current price in future but France and Italy are never 18€ worth it.

Same with Going East, SCS could expand Going East up to Belarus wich would justify the price of 17,99€ and would allow to enter Heart of Russia DLC also without Beyond Baltic Sea DLC, i think SCS should in general expand its tiny DLC´s and maybe also think about a West Balkan DLC (from Austria to Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, this small tiny states nobody can remember, Serbia, Macedonia and Albania).

As one who owns all the DLC, I completely agree. The previous DLC in several cases needs to be lowered in price to match the quality/quantity of the more recent DLC. SCS deserves every penny/pence/euro they get, but some of the older DLC is lacking in comparison considering their current price point.

Going East was reduced in price some ago. Scandinavia was built when the player base was much smaller than it is today and some maps are bigger with a lot of roads like France and Iberia and some like Italy have less roads.

In the end it all balances out and SCS will reskin the base map and probably Going East too. With some luck they will also push north towards and just past the Arctic Circle.

There is tons of additional free content that the game gets with every update, so I think that longer term players find great value in a game that is still enjoyable to play and is still supported with additional content as frequently.

Use your wish list and you will receive an email notification when there are sales.

And my guess is that will be soon, and you can carry on... your argument is, I think, philosophical, sure price to fit age and quality makes sense, but in the end, sale prices are low enough that it really really does not matter.

By your logic, the newer DLCs should cost MORE than those previous DLCs. ;)

But I don't compare them because the older DLCs were made before SCS had developed their better style and more robust tools and prefab construction techniques and they are going back over the older areas to bring them somewhat up to current quality for free.

I suggest to always buy these DLC on sale. I'm all for SCS making money, and entertainment software is a business. There is so much to do on the DLC I purchased at huge discounts though.

I get that some will say we should support SCS. I'm sorry, I am not paying full price to:

"Explore mountainous areas with a wide range of colorful rocks"

...just no. Spain and Portugal are some of my favorite regions. If all you've got are a few recognizable landmarks and rocks though, I can wait.

Tbh i didnt expected anything else, i mean SCS force you to buy Going East to have access to Beyond Baltic Sea and Road to the Black Sea meanwhile Going East is known as the (if you want) worst map extension from all and could/should be part of vanilla ETS2, how i wrote above they could add Belarus and make it 17,99€ worth it but now its just too small and too low quality even if they change something for free in view of quality.

You aren't forced to buy any DLC; Going East is not required to access either Beyond the Baltic or Road to the Black Sea.

Going East was the first map DLC. And was made before they got into their stride and will, as I said, be updated in time, for free. Too many people expect progress at lightning pace and are too quick to criticize when their unrealistic expectations are not met.

No, Beyond Baltic Sea can only entered by ferry from Germany and Road to the Black Sea cant accessed without Going East, when you charge for Iberia (a good map extension) 17,99€ you simply cant charge for less the same price, i am interessted that ppl get something for their money and this is for the most ETS2 map extensions not the case.

Btw ETS2 costs 19,99€ and tiny map extensions like Scandinavia 17,99€, for few € more i get ETS2, the price tags for the map extensions are crazy and nobody can denie this.

You can drive in "Road to the Black Sea" without having "Going East" because at the time "Road to the Black Sea" was released, there was also the option to buy garages you had never visited (provided you already own at least 3 garages that have been bought during the visit)
- But: If you do not have "Going East" you can of course only run local jobs in the "Road to the Black Sea" area, but not to other maps.

When there are sales, the oldest maps "Going East" and "Scandinavia" are actually also the ones that are the cheapest, if I remember correctly.
