The DLC should be cheaper.

[Nats]

Does anyone else feel the DLC should be cheaper?

Even with all the present DLC added, compared to ETS2 there is just half the game here, and the DLC is getting really expensive. I am five down now and would have to spend £55 to get up to date now which really puts me off playing this game any more.

Apart from Texas, I dont think each DLC pack is worth a buying on its own, only adding a few dozen roads each.

I think they are kicking themselves in the nuts releasing their dlc with such a price. The more they release the more they are pricing themselves out of the reach of new players. Getting like Paradox.

If I think something costs too much, I don't buy it.

Or you could just buy them on sale.

Well this is why I have left behind ATS and am concentrating purely on ETS2 now. Just cannot afford to buy both anymore. Cant even make them worthwhile in a Steam sale - £27 even at 50% off lol. Price of a new game that.

$12 USD for a state(except Texas which is ETS2 pricing) a couple times a year is not expensive at all.

Just my opinion as you are entitled to yours. Steam sales do make pricing a little better. Even Texas went on sale during the Spring Sale. Not much but 10% is 10%.

Why pay for a title every single year...cough....EA NHL, NFL, FIFA, MLB....cough when it is the same game year in and year out with one little, extremely niche feature that most people probably will never even use and charge $60 USD for the game.

The above is absolutely pathetic. Oh and then lets charge people to access online play too. Even more absurdity!

SCS map expansions are extremely cheap compared to the crap that AAA game studios are doing.

Buying dic state is cheaper then buying a pack of cigarettes. And a whole lot better for ya..

I feel you aren't worth the money you get for working, you should have a pay cut. Your work isn't up to my standards, I don't think we need to carry on with your employment.
Is that what you think of SCS? You'd happily take a pay cut, or lose your job? Do you seriously expect them to work for less or nothing?
Do a simple cost/benefit analysis of DLC taking cost, time spent playing, enjoyment gained etc, and compare it to going to the cinema or the pub for the same amount of time. DLC is by far the cheapest option and gives the best c/b ratio.

Or you could just be one of the usual trolls we repeatedly get here.

Its dirt cheap to be honest compared to flight sim DLC content. They need to make profit and they are not going to give away content. If price is too high wait for steam sale.

[Mad Scientist]

I just got the main with the included dlc and the bundle for heavy cargo. It was entirely worth the sale price which was basically nothing compared to the full price.

Given how much time goes into making a state, the price is entirely reasonable for a state, and not many people are likely to buy what is probably going to be 50 states.

So normal price? Likely worth buying.
Dont like the normal price? Wait for another major sale.

Every dime I have put into this sim has been money well spent IMO. If you believe the free Coast to Coast MOD is good enough for you then you should go that route and ignore future updates and DLC. I could only use that MOD for 2 extremely long, boring hours that I would like to get back. I find all of their current DLC do a great job representing that state. I went all in with an 18 speed shifter to go with my wheel & pedals, a signal light and Track IR5. I would also recommend Sim dashboard if you have an Android tablet. I wouldn't say it was necessary but it is nice to have. If I could afford it I would also get a button box. All for this Sim. No game is for everyone.

I agree with the general sentiment here, the DLCs are worth the money especially with the 12 States released at this point you can have a rewarding OTR Trucking experience.

If I had one negative comment it would be the DLC Releases are to far apart.

[Aspen Ridge]

Everyone needs to make money and get paid...the prices are reasonable considering the amount of time and resources SCS has to put into these games...I know that not all people can afford to buy the DLC's at full price...or even on sale...but respectfully... if you don't have enough disposable income then maybe gaming is not the hobby for you.

[GeorgeT93]

I honestly feel the dlc are quite fairly priced and am more than happy to pay full price when a new one releases, especially how far apart releases are usually spaced. With how often they go on sale, combined with the combo-pack deals, they make it fairly easy to get the dlc you've missed at cheaper prices several times a year. So for me, that's a "no", I don't think the dlc should be cheaper.

^^^ This.

I would've agreed to it being cheap if it was mobile phone content, but you know, even lately mobile game addons aren't cheap anymore.

[TruckerRyan]

If you're a child, then yeah I can see how $20 or under may be expensive, but you if you're an adult, you need to realize how much work goes into developing these maps and addons. They aren't made overnight or even in 1 month. It takes months. Hence, why we only see a map come out every now and then and not every month.

But if you still want to complain about spending $20 for a DLC, I suggest learn to develop your own maps and share them for cheap/free with others. Lets's see how long it takes you.
