So, when's the next free DLC?
Or is this essentially gonna end up to the point where if you wanna truck from coast to coast, you need to buy each state in between?

Only free DLCs will be trucks and such, states will all be paid DLC. You will have to buy them if you want to truck coast to coast.

Ah yes, I need to buy $300 or whatever in DLC for the TRUE American truck sim... Nothing really makes a game a game like literally cutting your game apart to gouge the customer base.

Which obviously means this method of game development is an issue. And I mean, let's not forget the fact that ETS2 is a more complete experience even without it's few expansion DLCs.

Sure, they have the whole map on a server somewhere and just decided it would be a good idea to sell one state a year. Do you notice how ridiculous this sounds?

It takes money to make DLC, so yeah they're going to make people pay for it. That's how the world works.

Not as riediculous as making a sim game of trucking in America and then selling 45 of the states as DLC.

It also requires a customer base to buy the DLC, keep reaching for their wallet and watch as people willing to buy drops off.

No need to pay for future DLC's if you don't want to. Your game will be complete without those DLC's. It just won't be as complete as the games of players who will pay for future DLC's.

If people like you are really that mad about buying things you could always use mods..

Amen!
You don't have to buy the DLC, that is a choice, but SCS will keep making them so long as there are those of us who wish to 'expand' our experience with the game...

I really hate this twatwaffle attitude and tracked it down recently to game reviewers in the past who then spread it to youtube game goobers.
Reallly a shame since it's rarely based in reality, and rarely has any proof from the developer side, just selfish palyer whining.

Paid for a game that advertised trucking around the entirety of America, didn't expect that when they advertised that, that each piece was gonna cost.

I mean, I'm sure when you buy a car, you don't expect that it's only the chasis that you're buying right?

Nah, people like me are upset that game devs are advertising one thing and trying to sell you the entire experience piece by bloody piece because they think that anyone that plays games needs to be gouged for all they're worth.

Here's the future of this dev if they really wanna charge for every single piece: https://store.steampowered.com/app/24010/Train_Simulator/
